510 * New upstream version
511 - First supported release of OVN. See ovn-architecture(7) for more
514 * New "monitor_cond" "monitor_cond_update" and "update2" extensions to
517 * OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles are now supported for group mods as well as
518 flow mods and port mods. Both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle
519 flags are supported for group mods as well as flow mods.
520 * OpenFlow 1.1+ OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST now supports OFPP_ANY.
521 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_QUEUE_DESC is now supported.
522 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_TABLE_STATUS is now supported.
523 * New property-based packet-in message format NXT_PACKET_IN2 with support
524 for arbitrary user-provided data and for serializing flow table
525 traversal into a continuation for later resumption.
526 * New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like
527 control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow.
528 * OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is
529 now implemented. Only flow mod and port mod messages are supported
531 * New OpenFlow extension NXM_NX_MPLS_TTL to provide access to MPLS TTL.
532 * New output option, output(port=N,max_len=M), to allow truncating a
533 packet to size M bytes when outputting to port N.
534 * New command OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD for OFPT_GROUP_MOD message that adds a
535 new group or modifies an existing groups
536 * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in
537 this release, and will be removed in the next OVS release
538 (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
539 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error
540 response if any other value of this field is included in
541 packet-out and flow mod sent by a controller. Controllers are
542 already expected to work properly in cases where the switch can
543 not buffer packets, so this change should not affect existing
545 * New OpenFlow extension NXT_CT_FLUSH_ZONE to flush conntrack zones.
546 - Improved OpenFlow version compatibility for actions:
547 * New OpenFlow extension to support the "group" action in OpenFlow 1.0.
548 * OpenFlow 1.0 "enqueue" action now properly translated to OpenFlow 1.1+.
549 * OpenFlow 1.1 "mod_nw_ecn" and OpenFlow 1.1+ "mod_nw_ttl" actions now

555 as a single atomic transaction.
556 * New option "--color" to produce colorized output for some commands.
557 * New option '--may-create' to use OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD in mod-group command.
559 * New "sampling_port" option for "sample" action to allow sampling
560 ingress and egress tunnel metadata with IPFIX.
561 * New ovs-ofctl commands "dump-ipfix-bridge" and "dump-ipfix-flow" to
562 dump bridge IPFIX statistics and flow based IPFIX statistics.
563 * New setting other-config:virtual_obs_id to add an arbitrary string
566 * New QoS type "linux-noop" that prevents Open vSwitch from trying to
567 manage QoS for a given port (useful when other software manages QoS).
569 * New option "n_rxq" for PMD interfaces.
570 Old 'other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs' is no longer supported.
571 Not supported by vHost interfaces. For them number of rx and tx queues
572 is applied from connected virtio device.
573 * New 'other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity' field for PMD interfaces, that
574 allows to pin port's rx queues to desired cores.

625 sockets outside their run directory.
626 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-512 because
627 SHA-1 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to
628 disable it in OpenSSL.
629 - Add 'mtu_request' column to the Interface table. It can be used to

653 - Dropped support for Python older than version 2.7. As a consequence,
654 using Open vSwitch 2.5 or later on XenServer 6.5 or earlier (which
655 have Python 2.4) requires first installing Python 2.7.
657 * Group chaining (where one OpenFlow group triggers another) is
659 * OpenFlow 1.4+ "importance" is now considered for flow eviction.
660 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_EVICTION is now implemented.
661 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_VACANCY_EVENTS is now implemented.
662 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_TABLE_DESC is now implemented.

672 - Add 'symmetric_l3l4' and 'symmetric_l3l4+udp' hash functions.
673 - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
674 - New 'check-system-userspace', 'check-kmod' and 'check-kernel' Makefile
675 targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside
676 a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details
677 - Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in
678 the next OVS release.
679 - Added --user option to all daemons
680 - Add support for connection tracking through the new "ct" action
681 and "ct_state"/"ct_zone"/"ct_mark"/"ct_label" match fields. Only
682 available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded.
683 - Add experimental version of OVN. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a
684 system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the
685 existing capabilities of OVS to add native support for virtual network
686 abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups.

700 * New upstream version
701 - Flow table modifications are now atomic, meaning that each packet
702 now sees a coherent version of the OpenFlow pipeline. For
703 example, if a controller removes all flows with a single OpenFlow
704 "flow_mod", no packet sees an intermediate version of the OpenFlow
705 pipeline where only some of the flows have been deleted.
706 - Added support for SFQ, FQ_CoDel and CoDel qdiscs.
707 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check
708 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
709 - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate
710 MAC flooding attacks.
711 - New support for a "conjunctive match" OpenFlow extension, which
712 allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form "field1 in
713 {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...}" and generalizations. For details,
714 see documentation for the "conjunction" action in ovs-ofctl(8).
715 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/
716 ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check
717 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
718 - The "learn" action supports a new flag "delete_learned" that causes
719 the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the "learn" action
721 - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet
722 possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future
723 release. The protocol is documented at
724 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
725 - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
726 - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
727 OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters.
728 - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
729 into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl
730 commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
731 release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
733 * OpenFlow 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port
734 mods. For flow mods, both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle flags
735 are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed
736 in the order they were added and all flow table modifications
737 are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in
738 atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
739 * IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
740 * OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
741 * The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
742 * OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
743 * OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
744 * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
745 * Nicira extension "move" actions may now be included in action sets.
746 * "resubmit" actions may now be included in action sets. The resubmit
747 is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
749 * OpenFlow 1.4+ flow "importance" is now maintained in the flow table.
750 * A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the
751 fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See "selection_method" and
752 related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
753 - ovs-ofctl has a new '--bundle' option that makes the flow mod commands
754 ('add-flow', 'add-flows', 'mod-flows', 'del-flows', and 'replace-flows')
755 use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single
756 atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none
757 of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath
758 lookups simultaneously.
759 - ovs-ofctl 'add-flow' and 'add-flows' commands now accept arbitrary flow
760 mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an
761 explicit 'add', 'modify', 'modify_strict', 'delete', or 'delete_strict'
762 keyword. A missing keyword is treated as 'add', so this is fully
763 backwards compatible. With the new '--bundle' option all the flow mods
764 are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle.
765 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
766 MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
768 - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
769 "optional scalar" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
770 - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
771 the same transaction that creates the row.
772 - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
773 who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not
774 a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
775 - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
776 added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
777 file for additional details.
778 - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
779 The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
780 Network Validation Library (ANVL).
781 - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
782 - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
783 - A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
784 containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
785 with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
786 - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported
787 protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
788 - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3)
789 - Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x
790 - The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
791 console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
793 - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
794 - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
795 contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
797 - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
798 numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.
799 - Support for DPDK vHost.
800 - Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN.
801 - The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall
802 openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel
803 modules (vport-*.ko).
804 - Support for STT tunneling.
805 - Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines
806 how daemons will talk with syslog.
807 - Support for "ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern" command that lets to query
808 logging message format for each destination.

1012 - Support for ipv6 set action.
1013 - SKB mark matching and setting.
1014 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
1015 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
1016 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
1017 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
1018 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
1019 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
1020 The default log patterns now include this information.
1022 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
1023 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
1024 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
1026 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
1027 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
1028 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
1029 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
1030 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
1031 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
1032 - Tunnel header caching removed.
1034 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
1035 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
1036 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
1037 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
1038 for these ports for different purposes).
1040 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
1041 the "add-if" command.
1042 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
1043 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
1044 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
1045 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
1046 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
1047 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
1048 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
1049 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
1050 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
1051 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
1053 - Bridge compatibility.
1055 - The autopath action.
1056 - Interface type "null".
1057 - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
1058 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
1059 - CAPWAP tunnel support.

1061 data in ARP packets.

1072 behavior in corner cases that may affect some controllers.
1074 - A new test utility that can create L3 tunnel between two Open
1075 vSwitches and detect connectivity issues.
1077 - New --sort and --rsort options for "dump-flows" command.
1078 - "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.
1080 - Allow general bitwise masking for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
1081 IPv4, IPv6, and ARP packets. (Previously, only CIDR masks
1083 - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
1084 the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
1086 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
1087 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
1088 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
1089 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
1090 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
1091 - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
1092 flow table changes as they happen.
1093 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
1094 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
1095 - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
1096 sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
1098 - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
1099 instead the local timezone, by default.

1109 - Added ability to configure dscp setting for manager and controller
1110 connections. By default, these connections have a DSCP value of
1111 Internetwork Control (0xc0).

1146 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
1147 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
1148 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
1151 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
1152 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
1153 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
1155 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
1156 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
1157 receive asynchronously.
1158 - New "fin_timeout" action.
1159 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
1160 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
1161 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
1162 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
1163 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
1164 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
1165 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
1166 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
1167 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
1168 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
1169 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
1170 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
1171 for more information.
1172 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
1173 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
1174 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
1175 - ofproto-provider interface:

1424 [ Open vSwitch team ]
1425 * New upstream version
1426 - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
1427 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
1428 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
1429 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
1430 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
1433 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
1434 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
1435 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
1436 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
1437 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
1439 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
1440 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
1442 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
1444 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
1446 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
1447 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
1449 - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.
1450 - Debian: Depend on python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse instead of
1451 python-argparse to avoid pulling in python2.6

1458 * New upstream version
1460 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
1462 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
1463 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
1465 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
1466 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
1467 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
1468 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
1469 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
1471 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
1472 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
1473 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
1474 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
1475 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
1476 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
1477 - Fragment handling extensions:
1478 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
1479 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
1481 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
1482 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
1483 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
1484 fragment handling policy.
1485 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
1486 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
1487 standards-based implementations.
1488 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
1489 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
1490 a denial of service attack.
1491 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
1492 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
1493 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
1494 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

1501 * New upstream version
1502 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
1504 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
1505 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
1507 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
1509 - Implement table unique constraints.
1510 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
1512 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
1513 counters for each port.
1515 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
1517 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
1518 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
1519 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
1520 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
1521 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
1522 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
1523 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
1524 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
1525 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
1526 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
1527 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
1529 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
1530 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
1531 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
1533 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
1534 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
1536 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
1537 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
1538 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
1539 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
