275 * New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like
276 control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow.
277 * OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is
278 now implemented. Only flow mod and port mod messages are supported
280 * New OpenFlow extension NXM_NX_MPLS_TTL to provide access to MPLS TTL.

283 * New command OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD for OFPT_GROUP_MOD message that adds a
284 new group or modifies an existing groups
285 * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in

287 (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
288 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error

304 as a single atomic transaction.
305 * New option "--color" to produce colorized output for some commands.
306 * New option '--may-create' to use OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD in mod-group command.
308 * New "sampling_port" option for "sample" action to allow sampling
309 ingress and egress tunnel metadata with IPFIX.
310 * New ovs-ofctl commands "dump-ipfix-bridge" and "dump-ipfix-flow" to

472 release. The protocol is documented at
473 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
474 - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
475 - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
476 OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters.
477 - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
478 into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl
479 commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
480 release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
482 * OpenFlow 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port
483 mods. For flow mods, both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle flags
484 are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed
485 in the order they were added and all flow table modifications
486 are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in
487 atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
488 * IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
489 * OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
490 * The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
491 * OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
492 * OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
493 * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
494 * Nicira extension "move" actions may now be included in action sets.
495 * "resubmit" actions may now be included in action sets. The resubmit
496 is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
498 * OpenFlow 1.4+ flow "importance" is now maintained in the flow table.
499 * A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the
500 fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See "selection_method" and
501 related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
502 - ovs-ofctl has a new '--bundle' option that makes the flow mod commands
503 ('add-flow', 'add-flows', 'mod-flows', 'del-flows', and 'replace-flows')
504 use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single
505 atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none
506 of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath
507 lookups simultaneously.
508 - ovs-ofctl 'add-flow' and 'add-flows' commands now accept arbitrary flow
509 mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an
510 explicit 'add', 'modify', 'modify_strict', 'delete', or 'delete_strict'
511 keyword. A missing keyword is treated as 'add', so this is fully
512 backwards compatible. With the new '--bundle' option all the flow mods
513 are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle.
514 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
515 MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
517 - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
518 "optional scalar" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
519 - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
520 the same transaction that creates the row.
521 - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
522 who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not
523 a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
524 - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
525 added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
526 file for additional details.
527 - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
528 The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
529 Network Validation Library (ANVL).
530 - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
531 - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
532 - A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
533 containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
534 with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
535 - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported
536 protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
537 - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3)
538 - Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x
539 - The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
540 console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
542 - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
543 - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
544 contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
546 - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
547 numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.
548 - Support for DPDK vHost.
549 - Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN.
550 - The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall
551 openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel
552 modules (vport-*.ko).
553 - Support for STT tunneling.
554 - Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines
555 how daemons will talk with syslog.
556 - Support for "ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern" command that lets to query
557 logging message format for each destination.
558 - GRE64 and ipsec_gre64 tunnel protocol is deprecated and will be removed
559 from OVS v2.5 release.
560 * The openvswitch-testcontroller package is new. It reintroduces the
561 simple OpenFlow controller that was packaged with Open vSwitch prior to
562 version 2.1, at request of users who find it useful for testing basic
563 OpenFlow setups. It is still not a necessary or desirable part of most
564 Open vSwitch deployments.

772 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
773 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
775 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
776 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
777 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
778 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
779 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
780 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
781 - Tunnel header caching removed.
783 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
784 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
785 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
786 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
787 for these ports for different purposes).
789 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
790 the "add-if" command.
791 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
792 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
793 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
794 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
795 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
796 program was not included in distribution packaging.)

910 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
911 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
912 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
913 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
914 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
915 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.

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

1215 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
1216 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
1217 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
1218 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
1220 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
1221 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
1222 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
1223 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the

1227 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
1228 fields are made available for matching in fragments with

1235 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
1236 standards-based implementations.
1237 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
1238 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
