470 * New upstream version
471 - First supported release of OVN. See ovn-architecture(7) for more
474 * New "monitor_cond" "monitor_cond_update" and "update2" extensions to
477 * OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles are now supported for group mods as well as
478 flow mods and port mods. Both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle
479 flags are supported for group mods as well as flow mods.
480 * OpenFlow 1.1+ OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST now supports OFPP_ANY.
481 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_QUEUE_DESC is now supported.
482 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_TABLE_STATUS is now supported.
483 * New property-based packet-in message format NXT_PACKET_IN2 with support
484 for arbitrary user-provided data and for serializing flow table
485 traversal into a continuation for later resumption.
486 * New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like
487 control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow.
488 * OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is
489 now implemented. Only flow mod and port mod messages are supported
491 * New OpenFlow extension NXM_NX_MPLS_TTL to provide access to MPLS TTL.
492 * New output option, output(port=N,max_len=M), to allow truncating a
493 packet to size M bytes when outputting to port N.
494 * New command OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD for OFPT_GROUP_MOD message that adds a
495 new group or modifies an existing groups
496 * The optional OpenFlow packet buffering feature is deprecated in
497 this release, and will be removed in the next OVS release
498 (2.7). After the change OVS always sends the 'buffer_id' as
499 0xffffffff in packet-in messages and will send an error
500 response if any other value of this field is included in
501 packet-out and flow mod sent by a controller. Controllers are
502 already expected to work properly in cases where the switch can
503 not buffer packets, so this change should not affect existing
505 * New OpenFlow extension NXT_CT_FLUSH_ZONE to flush conntrack zones.
506 - Improved OpenFlow version compatibility for actions:
507 * New OpenFlow extension to support the "group" action in OpenFlow 1.0.
508 * OpenFlow 1.0 "enqueue" action now properly translated to OpenFlow 1.1+.
509 * OpenFlow 1.1 "mod_nw_ecn" and OpenFlow 1.1+ "mod_nw_ttl" actions now
510 properly translated to OpenFlow 1.0.
512 * queue-get-config command now allows a queue ID to be specified.
513 * '--bundle' option can now be used with OpenFlow 1.3 and with group mods.
514 * New "bundle" command allows executing a mixture of flow and group mods
515 as a single atomic transaction.
516 * New option "--color" to produce colorized output for some commands.
517 * New option '--may-create' to use OFPGC_ADD_OR_MOD in mod-group command.
519 * New "sampling_port" option for "sample" action to allow sampling
520 ingress and egress tunnel metadata with IPFIX.
521 * New ovs-ofctl commands "dump-ipfix-bridge" and "dump-ipfix-flow" to
522 dump bridge IPFIX statistics and flow based IPFIX statistics.
523 * New setting other-config:virtual_obs_id to add an arbitrary string
526 * New QoS type "linux-noop" that prevents Open vSwitch from trying to
527 manage QoS for a given port (useful when other software manages QoS).
529 * New option "n_rxq" for PMD interfaces.
530 Old 'other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs' is no longer supported.
531 Not supported by vHost interfaces. For them number of rx and tx queues
532 is applied from connected virtio device.
533 * New 'other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity' field for PMD interfaces, that
534 allows to pin port's rx queues to desired cores.
535 * New appctl command 'dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show' to check the port/rxq
537 * Type of log messages from PMD threads changed from INFO to DBG.
538 * QoS functionality with sample egress-policer implementation.
539 * The mechanism for configuring DPDK has changed to use database
540 * Sensible defaults have been introduced for many of the required
541 configuration options
542 * DB entries have been added for many of the DPDK EAL command line
543 arguments. Additional arguments can be passed via the dpdk-extra
545 * Add ingress policing functionality.
546 * PMD threads servicing vHost User ports can now come from the NUMA
547 node that device memory is located on if CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_NUMA
549 * Basic connection tracking for the userspace datapath (no ALG,
550 fragmentation or NAT support yet)
551 * Support for DPDK 16.07
552 * Optional support for DPDK pdump enabled.
553 * Jumbo frame support
554 * Remove dpdkvhostcuse port type.
555 * OVS client mode for vHost and vHost reconnect (Requires QEMU 2.7)
556 - Increase number of registers to 16.
557 - ovs-benchmark: This utility has been removed due to lack of use and
560 * New "vlog/close" command.
562 * Added the ability to selectively start the forwarding and database
563 functions (ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server, respectively).
565 * Remove max number of sessions limit, to enable connection scaling
568 * Added support for Python 3.4+ in addition to existing support
571 * Introduced SELinux policy package.
572 - Datapath Linux kernel compatibility.
573 * Dropped support for kernel older than 3.10.
574 * Removed VLAN splinters feature.
575 * Support for truncate action.
576 * Datapath supports kernel upto 4.6.
578 * Flow based tunnel match and action can be used for IPv6 address using
579 tun_ipv6_src, tun_ipv6_dst fields.
580 * Added support for IPv6 tunnels, for details checkout FAQ.
581 * Deprecated support for IPsec tunnels ports.
582 - A wrapper script, 'ovs-tcpdump', to easily port-mirror an OVS port and
584 - Introduce --no-self-confinement flag that allows daemons to work with
585 sockets outside their run directory.
586 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-512 because
587 SHA-1 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to
588 disable it in OpenSSL.
589 - Add 'mtu_request' column to the Interface table. It can be used to
590 configure the MTU of non-internal ports.

596 * debian/control: Change build dependency from python-twisted-conch to
597 python-twisted, for two reasons. First, the former is just a
598 documentation package and is going to be removed. Second, the former
599 depends on python-crypto, which according to buildd.debian.org is
600 uninstallable except on i386 due to a long chain of dependencies.

611 [ Open vSwitch team ]
612 * New upstream version
613 - Dropped support for Python older than version 2.7. As a consequence,
614 using Open vSwitch 2.5 or later on XenServer 6.5 or earlier (which
615 have Python 2.4) requires first installing Python 2.7.
617 * Group chaining (where one OpenFlow group triggers another) is
619 * OpenFlow 1.4+ "importance" is now considered for flow eviction.
620 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_EVICTION is now implemented.
621 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_VACANCY_EVENTS is now implemented.
622 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_TABLE_DESC is now implemented.
623 * Allow modifying the ICMPv4/ICMPv6 type and code fields.
624 * OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG and OFPT_GET_ASYNC_CONFIG are
627 * New "out_group" keyword for OpenFlow 1.1+ matching on output group.
629 * Geneve tunnels can now match and set options and the OAM bit.
630 * The nonstandard GRE64 tunnel extension has been dropped.
631 - Support Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv1 and MLDv2).
632 - Add 'symmetric_l3l4' and 'symmetric_l3l4+udp' hash functions.
633 - sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
634 - New 'check-system-userspace', 'check-kmod' and 'check-kernel' Makefile
635 targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside
636 a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details
637 - Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in
638 the next OVS release.
639 - Added --user option to all daemons
640 - Add support for connection tracking through the new "ct" action
641 and "ct_state"/"ct_zone"/"ct_mark"/"ct_label" match fields. Only
642 available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded.
643 - Add experimental version of OVN. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a
644 system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the
645 existing capabilities of OVS to add native support for virtual network
646 abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups.
648 * DPDK ports may now be created via network scripts (see README.RHEL).
651 * Added multiqueue support to vhost-user
652 * Note: QEMU 2.5+ required for multiqueue support
654 * Introduced SELinux policy package.

658 openvswitch (2.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
659 [ Open vSwitch team ]
660 * New upstream version
661 - Flow table modifications are now atomic, meaning that each packet
662 now sees a coherent version of the OpenFlow pipeline. For
663 example, if a controller removes all flows with a single OpenFlow
664 "flow_mod", no packet sees an intermediate version of the OpenFlow
665 pipeline where only some of the flows have been deleted.
666 - Added support for SFQ, FQ_CoDel and CoDel qdiscs.
667 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check
668 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
669 - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate
670 MAC flooding attacks.
671 - New support for a "conjunctive match" OpenFlow extension, which
672 allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form "field1 in
673 {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...}" and generalizations. For details,
674 see documentation for the "conjunction" action in ovs-ofctl(8).
675 - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/
676 ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check
677 utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
678 - The "learn" action supports a new flag "delete_learned" that causes
679 the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the "learn" action
681 - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet
682 possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future
683 release. The protocol is documented at
684 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
685 - The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
686 - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
687 OpenFlow port numbers, as well as datapath performance counters.
688 - ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
689 into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl
690 commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
691 release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
693 * OpenFlow 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port
694 mods. For flow mods, both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle flags
695 are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed
696 in the order they were added and all flow table modifications
697 are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in
698 atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
699 * IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
700 * OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
701 * The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
702 * OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
703 * OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
704 * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
705 * Nicira extension "move" actions may now be included in action sets.
706 * "resubmit" actions may now be included in action sets. The resubmit
707 is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
709 * OpenFlow 1.4+ flow "importance" is now maintained in the flow table.
710 * A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the
711 fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See "selection_method" and
712 related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
713 - ovs-ofctl has a new '--bundle' option that makes the flow mod commands
714 ('add-flow', 'add-flows', 'mod-flows', 'del-flows', and 'replace-flows')
715 use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single
716 atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none
717 of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath
718 lookups simultaneously.
719 - ovs-ofctl 'add-flow' and 'add-flows' commands now accept arbitrary flow
720 mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an
721 explicit 'add', 'modify', 'modify_strict', 'delete', or 'delete_strict'
722 keyword. A missing keyword is treated as 'add', so this is fully
723 backwards compatible. With the new '--bundle' option all the flow mods
724 are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle.
725 - ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
726 MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
728 - ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
729 "optional scalar" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
730 - ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
731 the same transaction that creates the row.
732 - test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
733 who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not
734 a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
735 - Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
736 added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
737 file for additional details.
738 - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
739 The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
740 Network Validation Library (ANVL).
741 - Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
742 - Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
743 - A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
744 containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
745 with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
746 - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported
747 protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
748 - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3)
749 - Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x
750 - The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
751 console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
753 - Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
754 - Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
755 contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
757 - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
758 numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.
759 - Support for DPDK vHost.
760 - Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN.
761 - The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall
762 openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel
763 modules (vport-*.ko).
764 - Support for STT tunneling.
765 - Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines
766 how daemons will talk with syslog.
767 - Support for "ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern" command that lets to query
768 logging message format for each destination.
769 - GRE64 and ipsec_gre64 tunnel protocol is deprecated and will be removed
770 from OVS v2.5 release.
771 * The openvswitch-testcontroller package is new. It reintroduces the
772 simple OpenFlow controller that was packaged with Open vSwitch prior to
773 version 2.1, at request of users who find it useful for testing basic
774 OpenFlow setups. It is still not a necessary or desirable part of most
775 Open vSwitch deployments.

972 - Support for ipv6 set action.
973 - SKB mark matching and setting.
974 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
975 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
976 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
977 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
978 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
979 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
980 The default log patterns now include this information.
982 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
983 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
984 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
986 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
987 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
988 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
989 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
990 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
991 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
992 - Tunnel header caching removed.
994 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
995 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
996 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
997 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
998 for these ports for different purposes).
1000 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
1001 the "add-if" command.
1002 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
1003 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
1004 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
1005 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
1006 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
1007 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
1008 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
1009 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
1010 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
1011 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
1013 - Bridge compatibility.
1015 - The autopath action.
1016 - Interface type "null".
1017 - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
1018 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
1019 - CAPWAP tunnel support.
1020 - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
1021 data in ARP packets.

1030 - Authors of controllers, please read the new section titled "Action
1031 Reproduction" in DESIGN, which describes an Open vSwitch change in
1032 behavior in corner cases that may affect some controllers.
1034 - A new test utility that can create L3 tunnel between two Open
1035 vSwitches and detect connectivity issues.
1037 - New --sort and --rsort options for "dump-flows" command.
1038 - "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.
1040 - Allow general bitwise masking for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
1041 IPv4, IPv6, and ARP packets. (Previously, only CIDR masks
1043 - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
1044 the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
1046 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
1047 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
1048 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
1049 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
1050 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
1051 - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
1052 flow table changes as they happen.
1053 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
1054 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
1055 - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
1056 sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
1058 - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
1059 instead the local timezone, by default.

1068 - Increased the number of NXM registers to 8.
1069 - Added ability to configure dscp setting for manager and controller
1070 connections. By default, these connections have a DSCP value of
1071 Internetwork Control (0xc0).
1072 - Added the granular link health statistics, 'cfm_health', to an

1085 - Tripled flow setup performance.
1086 - The "coverage/log" command previously available through ovs-appctl
1087 has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
1088 coverage counter values, instead of logging them.

1103 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
1104 Instead they drop traffic.
1105 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
1106 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
1107 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
1108 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
1111 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
1112 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
1113 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
1115 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
1116 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
1117 receive asynchronously.
1118 - New "fin_timeout" action.
1119 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
1120 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
1121 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
1122 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
1123 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
1124 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
1125 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
1126 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
1127 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
1128 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
1129 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
1130 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
1131 for more information.
1132 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
1133 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
1134 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
1135 - ofproto-provider interface:

1137 should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().

1416 openvswitch (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
1417 [ Open vSwitch team ]
1418 * New upstream version
1420 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
1422 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
1423 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
1425 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
1426 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
1427 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
1428 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
1429 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
1431 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
1432 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
1433 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
1434 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
1435 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
1436 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
1437 - Fragment handling extensions:
1438 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
1439 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
1441 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
1442 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
1443 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
1444 fragment handling policy.
1445 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
1446 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
1447 standards-based implementations.
1448 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
1449 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
1450 a denial of service attack.
1451 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
1452 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
1453 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
1454 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

1458 openvswitch (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
1460 [ Open vSwitch team ]
1461 * New upstream version
1462 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
1464 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
1465 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
1467 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
1469 - Implement table unique constraints.
1470 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
1472 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
1473 counters for each port.
1475 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
1477 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
1478 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
1479 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
1480 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
1481 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
1482 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
1483 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
1484 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
1485 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
1486 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
1487 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
1489 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
1490 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
1491 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
1493 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
1494 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
1496 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
1497 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
1498 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
1499 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
1500 - Performance and scalability improvements
