547 new group or modifies an existing groups
548 * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in
549 this release, and will be removed in the next OVS release
550 (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
551 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error

685 - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
686 - New 'check-system-userspace', 'check-kmod' and 'check-kernel' Makefile
687 targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside
688 a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details
689 - Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in
690 the next OVS release.
691 - Added --user option to all daemons
692 - Add support for connection tracking through the new "ct" action
693 and "ct_state"/"ct_zone"/"ct_mark"/"ct_label" match fields. Only
694 available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded.

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

1024 - Support for ipv6 set action.
1025 - SKB mark matching and setting.
1026 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
1027 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
1028 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
1029 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
1030 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
1031 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
1032 The default log patterns now include this information.
1034 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
1035 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
1036 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
1038 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
1039 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
1040 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
1041 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
1042 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
1043 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
1044 - Tunnel header caching removed.
1046 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
1047 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
1048 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
1049 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
1050 for these ports for different purposes).
1052 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
1053 the "add-if" command.
1054 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
1055 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
1056 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
1057 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
1058 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
1059 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
1060 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
1061 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
1062 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
1063 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
1065 - Bridge compatibility.
1067 - The autopath action.
1068 - Interface type "null".
1069 - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
1070 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
1071 - CAPWAP tunnel support.
1072 - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
1073 data in ARP packets.

1082 - Authors of controllers, please read the new section titled "Action
1083 Reproduction" in DESIGN, which describes an Open vSwitch change in
1084 behavior in corner cases that may affect some controllers.
1086 - A new test utility that can create L3 tunnel between two Open
1087 vSwitches and detect connectivity issues.
1089 - New --sort and --rsort options for "dump-flows" command.
1090 - "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.
1092 - Allow general bitwise masking for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
1093 IPv4, IPv6, and ARP packets. (Previously, only CIDR masks
1095 - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
1096 the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
1098 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
1099 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
1100 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
1101 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
1102 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
1103 - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
1104 flow table changes as they happen.
1105 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
1106 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
1107 - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
1108 sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
1110 - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
1111 instead the local timezone, by default.

1121 - Added ability to configure dscp setting for manager and controller
1122 connections. By default, these connections have a DSCP value of
1123 Internetwork Control (0xc0).
1124 - Added the granular link health statistics, 'cfm_health', to an

1139 has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
1140 coverage counter values, instead of logging them.

1155 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
1156 Instead they drop traffic.
1157 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
1158 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
1159 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
1160 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
1163 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
1164 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
1165 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
1167 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
1168 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
1169 receive asynchronously.
1170 - New "fin_timeout" action.
1171 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
1172 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
1173 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
1174 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
1175 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
1176 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
1177 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
1178 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
1179 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
1180 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
1181 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
1182 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
1183 for more information.
1184 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
1185 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
1186 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
1187 - ofproto-provider interface:
1188 - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
1189 should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
1191 - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
1192 a timestamp with every update.

1436 [ Open vSwitch team ]
1437 * New upstream version
1438 - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
1439 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
1440 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
1441 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
1442 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
1445 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
1446 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
1447 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
1448 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
1449 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
1451 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
1452 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
1454 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
1456 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
1458 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
1459 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
1461 - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.
1462 - Debian: Depend on python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse instead of
1463 python-argparse to avoid pulling in python2.6

1470 * New upstream version
1472 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
1474 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
1475 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
1477 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
1478 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
1479 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
1480 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
1481 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
1483 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
1484 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
1485 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
1486 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
1487 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
1488 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
1489 - Fragment handling extensions:
1490 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
1491 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
1493 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
1494 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
1495 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
1496 fragment handling policy.
1497 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
1498 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
1499 standards-based implementations.
1500 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
1501 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
1502 a denial of service attack.
1503 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
1504 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
1505 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
1506 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

1513 * New upstream version
1514 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
1516 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
1517 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
1519 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
1521 - Implement table unique constraints.
1522 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
1524 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
1525 counters for each port.
1527 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
1529 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
1530 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
1531 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
1532 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
1533 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
1534 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
1535 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
1536 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
1537 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
1538 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
1539 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
1541 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
1542 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
1543 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
1545 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
1546 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
1548 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
1549 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
1550 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
1551 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
