24 * New upstream version
25 - Utilities and daemons that support SSL now allow protocols and
26 ciphers to be configured with --ssl-protocols and --ssl-ciphers.
28 * QoS is now implemented via egress shaping rather than ingress policing.
29 * DSCP marking is now supported, via the new northbound QoS table.
30 * IPAM now supports fixed MAC addresses.
31 * Support for source IP address based routing.
33 - New --ovs option to also print OpenFlow flows.
34 - put_dhcp_opts and put_dhcp_optsv6 actions may now be traced.
35 * Support for managing SSL and remote connection configuration in
36 northbound and southbound databases.
37 * TCP connections to northbound and southbound databases are no
38 longer enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.
39 See documentation for ovn-sbctl/ovn-nbctl "set-connection"
40 command or the ovn-ctl "--db-sb-create-insecure-remote" and
41 "--db-nb-create-insecure-remote" command-line options for
42 information regarding remote connection configuration.
43 * New appctl "inject-pkt" command in ovn-controller that allows
44 packets to be injected into the connected OVS instance.
45 * Distributed logical routers may now be connected directly to
46 logical switches with localnet ports, by specifying a
47 "redirect-chassis" on the distributed gateway port of the
48 logical router. NAT rules may be specified directly on the
49 distributed logical router, and are handled either centrally on
50 the "redirect-chassis", or in many cases are handled locally on
51 the hypervisor where the corresponding logical port resides.
52 Gratuitous ARP for NAT addresses on a distributed logical
53 router is not yet supported, but will be added in a future
55 - Fixed regression in table stats maintenance introduced in OVS
56 2.3.0, wherein the number of OpenFlow table hits and misses was
59 * OFPT_PACKET_OUT messages are now supported in bundles.
60 * A new "selection_method=dp_hash" type for OpenFlow select group
61 bucket selection that uses the datapath computed 5-tuple hash
62 without making datapath flows match the 5-tuple fields, which
63 is useful for more efficient load balancing, for example. This
64 uses the Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ that allows
65 control over the OpenFlow select groups selection method. See
66 "selection_method" and related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for
68 * The "sample" action now supports "ingress" and "egress" options.
69 * The "ct" action now supports the TFTP ALG where support is available.
70 * New actions "clone" and "ct_clear".
72 * 'bundle' command now supports packet-out messages.
73 * New syntax for 'ovs-ofctl packet-out' command, which uses the
74 same string parser as the 'bundle' command. The old 'packet-out'
75 syntax is deprecated and will be removed in a later OVS
77 * New unixctl "ofctl/packet-out" command, which can be used to
78 instruct a flow monitor to issue OpenFlow packet-out messages.
80 * Remote connections can now be made read-only (see ovsdb-server(1)).
82 * TLV mappings for protocols such as Geneve are now segregated on
83 a per-OpenFlow bridge basis rather than globally. (The interface
85 * Removed support for IPsec tunnels.
87 * New option 'n_rxq_desc' and 'n_txq_desc' fields for DPDK interfaces
88 which set the number of rx and tx descriptors to use for the given port.
89 * Support for DPDK v16.11.
90 * Support for rx checksum offload. Refer DPDK HOWTO for details.
91 * Port Hotplug is now supported.
92 * DPDK physical ports can now have arbitrary names. The PCI address of
93 the device must be set using the 'dpdk-devargs' option. Compatibility
94 with the old dpdk<portid> naming scheme is broken, and as such a
95 device will not be available for use until a valid dpdk-devargs is
97 * Virtual DPDK Poll Mode Driver (vdev PMD) support.
98 * Removed experimental tag.
100 * A package upgrade does not automatically restart OVS service.
101 - ovs-vswitchd/ovs-vsctl:
102 * Ports now have a "protected" flag. Protected ports can not forward
103 frames to other protected ports. Unprotected ports can receive and
104 forward frames to protected and other unprotected ports.
105 - ovs-vsctl, ovn-nbctl, ovn-sbctl, vtep-ctl:
106 * Database commands now accept integer ranges, e.g. "set port
107 eth0 trunks=1-10" to enable trunking VLANs 1 to 10.

117 * New "monitor_cond" "monitor_cond_update" and "update2" extensions to
120 * OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles are now supported for group mods as well as
121 flow mods and port mods. Both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle
122 flags are supported for group mods as well as flow mods.
123 * OpenFlow 1.1+ OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST now supports OFPP_ANY.
124 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_QUEUE_DESC is now supported.
125 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_TABLE_STATUS is now supported.
126 * New property-based packet-in message format NXT_PACKET_IN2 with support
127 for arbitrary user-provided data and for serializing flow table

129 * New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like
130 control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow.
131 * OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is
132 now implemented. Only flow mod and port mod messages are supported
134 * New OpenFlow extension NXM_NX_MPLS_TTL to provide access to MPLS TTL.
135 * New output option, output(port=N,max_len=M), to allow truncating a
136 packet to size M bytes when outputting to port N.
137 * New command OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD for OFPT_GROUP_MOD message that adds a
138 new group or modifies an existing groups
139 * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in
140 this release, and will be removed in the next OVS release
141 (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
142 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error
143 response if any other value of this field is included in
144 packet-out and flow mod sent by a controller. Controllers are
145 already expected to work properly in cases where the switch can
146 not buffer packets, so this change should not affect existing
148 * New OpenFlow extension NXT_CT_FLUSH_ZONE to flush conntrack zones.
149 - Improved OpenFlow version compatibility for actions:

156 * '--bundle' option can now be used with OpenFlow 1.3 and with group mods.
157 * New "bundle" command allows executing a mixture of flow and group mods
158 as a single atomic transaction.
159 * New option "--color" to produce colorized output for some commands.
160 * New option '--may-create' to use OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD in mod-group command.
162 * New "sampling_port" option for "sample" action to allow sampling
163 ingress and egress tunnel metadata with IPFIX.
164 * New ovs-ofctl commands "dump-ipfix-bridge" and "dump-ipfix-flow" to
165 dump bridge IPFIX statistics and flow based IPFIX statistics.
166 * New setting other-config:virtual_obs_id to add an arbitrary string
169 * New QoS type "linux-noop" that prevents Open vSwitch from trying to
170 manage QoS for a given port (useful when other software manages QoS).
172 * New option "n_rxq" for PMD interfaces.
173 Old 'other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs' is no longer supported.
174 Not supported by vHost interfaces. For them number of rx and tx queues
175 is applied from connected virtio device.
176 * New 'other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity' field for PMD interfaces, that
177 allows to pin port's rx queues to desired cores.
178 * New appctl command 'dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show' to check the port/rxq

197 * Remove dpdkvhostcuse port type.
198 * OVS client mode for vHost and vHost reconnect (Requires QEMU 2.7)
199 - Increase number of registers to 16.
200 - ovs-benchmark: This utility has been removed due to lack of use and
203 * New "vlog/close" command.
205 * Added the ability to selectively start the forwarding and database
206 functions (ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server, respectively).
208 * Remove max number of sessions limit, to enable connection scaling
211 * Added support for Python 3.4+ in addition to existing support
214 * Introduced SELinux policy package.

227 - Introduce --no-self-confinement flag that allows daemons to work with
228 sockets outside their run directory.
229 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-512 because
230 SHA-1 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to
231 disable it in OpenSSL.

239 * New upstream version
240 - Dropped support for Python older than version 2.7. As a consequence,
241 using Open vSwitch 2.5 or later on XenServer 6.5 or earlier (which
242 have Python 2.4) requires first installing Python 2.7.

257 * The nonstandard GRE64 tunnel extension has been dropped.
258 - Support Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv1 and MLDv2).
259 - Add 'symmetric_l3l4' and 'symmetric_l3l4+udp' hash functions.
260 - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
261 - New 'check-system-userspace', 'check-kmod' and 'check-kernel' Makefile
262 targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside
263 a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details
264 - Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in
265 the next OVS release.
266 - Added --user option to all daemons
267 - Add support for connection tracking through the new "ct" action
268 and "ct_state"/"ct_zone"/"ct_mark"/"ct_label" match fields. Only
269 available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded.
270 - Add experimental version of OVN. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a
271 system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the
272 existing capabilities of OVS to add native support for virtual network
273 abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups.

280 - Flow table modifications are now atomic, meaning that each packet
281 now sees a coherent version of the OpenFlow pipeline. For
282 example, if a controller removes all flows with a single OpenFlow
283 "flow_mod", no packet sees an intermediate version of the OpenFlow
284 pipeline where only some of the flows have been deleted.
285 - Added support for SFQ, FQ_CoDel and CoDel qdiscs.
286 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check
287 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
288 - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate
289 MAC flooding attacks.
290 - New support for a "conjunctive match" OpenFlow extension, which
291 allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form "field1 in
292 {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...}" and generalizations. For details,
293 see documentation for the "conjunction" action in ovs-ofctl(8).
294 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/
295 ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check
296 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
297 - The "learn" action supports a new flag "delete_learned" that causes
298 the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the "learn" action
300 - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet
301 possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future
302 release. The protocol is documented at
303 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
304 - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
305 - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
306 OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters.
307 - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
308 into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl
309 commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
310 release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
312 * OpenFlow 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port
313 mods. For flow mods, both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle flags
314 are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed
315 in the order they were added and all flow table modifications
316 are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in
317 atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
318 * IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
319 * OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
320 * The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
321 * OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
322 * OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
323 * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).

326 is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
328 * OpenFlow 1.4+ flow "importance" is now maintained in the flow table.
329 * A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the
330 fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See "selection_method" and
331 related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
332 - ovs-ofctl has a new '--bundle' option that makes the flow mod commands
333 ('add-flow', 'add-flows', 'mod-flows', 'del-flows', and 'replace-flows')
334 use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single
335 atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none
336 of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath
337 lookups simultaneously.
338 - ovs-ofctl 'add-flow' and 'add-flows' commands now accept arbitrary flow
339 mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an
340 explicit 'add', 'modify', 'modify_strict', 'delete', or 'delete_strict'
341 keyword. A missing keyword is treated as 'add', so this is fully
342 backwards compatible. With the new '--bundle' option all the flow mods
343 are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle.
344 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
345 MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
347 - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
348 "optional scalar" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
349 - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
350 the same transaction that creates the row.
351 - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
352 who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not
353 a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
354 - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
355 added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
356 file for additional details.
357 - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
358 The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
359 Network Validation Library (ANVL).
360 - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
361 - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
362 - A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
363 containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
364 with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
365 - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported
366 protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
367 - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3)
368 - Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x
369 - The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
370 console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
372 - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
373 - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
374 contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
376 - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
377 numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.
378 - Support for DPDK vHost.
379 - Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN.
380 - The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall
381 openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel
382 modules (vport-*.ko).
383 - Support for STT tunneling.
384 - Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines
385 how daemons will talk with syslog.
386 - Support for "ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern" command that lets to query
387 logging message format for each destination.
388 - GRE64 and ipsec_gre64 tunnel protocol is deprecated and will be removed
389 from OVS v2.5 release.

441 - Address prefix tracking support for flow tables. New columns
442 "prefixes" in OVS-DB table "Flow_Table" controls which packet
443 header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix
444 tracking allows the classifier to skip rules with longer than
445 necessary prefixes, resulting in better wildcarding for datapath
446 flows. Default configuration is to not use any fields for prefix
447 tracking. However, if any flow tables contain both exact matches
448 and masked matches for IP address fields, OVS performance may be
449 increased by using this feature.
450 * As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled
451 are: 'tun_id', 'tun_src', 'tun_dst', 'nw_src', 'nw_dst' (or
452 aliases 'ip_src' and 'ip_dst'), 'ipv6_src', and 'ipv6_dst'.
453 (Using this feature for 'tun_id' would only make sense if the
454 tunnel IDs have prefix structure similar to IP addresses.)
455 * There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any
456 one flow table. Currently this limit is 3.

465 has an adverse performance impact when using OVS userspace 1.10
466 or older (no megaflows support) together with the new OVS kernel
467 module. It is recommended that the kernel and userspace modules
468 both are upgraded at the same time.

471 your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the

546 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
547 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
548 close to the Linux bridge.
549 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
550 Open vSwitch features.
551 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
552 - The autopath action has been removed.
553 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
554 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
555 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
557 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
558 1.1 and later are now implemented.

583 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
585 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
586 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
587 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
588 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
589 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
590 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
591 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
593 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
594 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
595 question in the FAQ for more details.
596 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
597 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
598 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
599 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
601 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
602 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
603 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
604 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
605 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
606 is no longer supported.
607 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
609 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
610 if only one datapath exists.
612 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
613 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
614 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
615 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
616 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
617 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
618 port_construct() is called.
619 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
620 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
621 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
622 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
623 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
624 - Backward-incompatible changes:
625 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
626 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
627 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
628 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
629 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
630 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

642 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
643 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.

645 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
646 The default log patterns now include this information.
648 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
649 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
650 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
652 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
653 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
654 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
655 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
656 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
657 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
658 - Tunnel header caching removed.
660 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
661 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
662 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
663 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
664 for these ports for different purposes).
666 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
667 the "add-if" command.
668 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
669 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
670 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
671 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
672 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
673 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
674 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
675 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.

786 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
787 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
788 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
789 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
790 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
791 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
792 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
793 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.

795 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
796 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)

983 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
984 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
985 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
986 fragment handling policy.
987 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
988 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
989 standards-based implementations.
990 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
991 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
992 a denial of service attack.
993 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
994 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
995 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
996 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

1000 openvswitch (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
1002 [ Open vSwitch team ]
1003 * New upstream version
1004 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
1006 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
1007 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
1009 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
1011 - Implement table unique constraints.
1012 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
1014 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
1015 counters for each port.
1017 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
1019 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
1020 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
1021 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
1022 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
1023 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
1024 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
1025 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
1026 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
1027 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
1028 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
1029 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
1031 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
1032 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
1033 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
1035 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
1036 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
1038 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
1039 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
1040 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
1041 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
1042 - Performance and scalability improvements
