8 openvswitch (1.12.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
10 * New upstream version
12 * Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and
13 1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).
14 * New support for matching outer source and destination IP address
15 of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly
16 added "remote_ip=flow" and "local_ip=flow" options.
17 - The Interface table in the database has a new "ifindex" column to
18 report the interface's OS-assigned ifindex.
19 - New "check-oftest" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open
20 vSwitch. See README-OFTest for details.
21 - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
22 - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options
23 through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name
24 should look like "--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key").
25 - Added ovs-dev.py, a utility script helpful for Open vSwitch developers.

31 * New upstream version
32 - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
33 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
34 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
35 close to the Linux bridge.
36 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
37 Open vSwitch features.
38 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
39 - The autopath action has been removed.
40 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
41 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
42 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
44 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
45 1.1 and later are now implemented.
46 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
48 * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port". (This
49 allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
50 in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
52 * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
53 - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
54 flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
55 - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
56 - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
57 pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
58 will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
59 the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.
60 - New CFM demand mode which uses data traffic to indicate interface

65 openvswitch (1.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
67 * New upstream version
68 - Bridge compatibility support has been removed. Any uses that
69 rely on ovs-brcompatd will have to stick with Open vSwitch 1.9.x
70 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
72 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
73 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
74 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
75 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
76 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
77 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
78 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
80 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
81 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
82 question in the FAQ for more details.
83 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
84 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
85 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
86 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
88 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
89 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
90 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
91 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
92 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
93 is no longer supported.
94 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
96 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
97 if only one datapath exists.
99 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
100 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
101 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
102 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
103 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
104 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
105 port_construct() is called.
106 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
107 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
108 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
109 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
110 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
111 - Backward-incompatible changes:
112 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
113 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
114 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
115 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
116 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
117 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

123 * New upstream version
125 - Support for ipv6 set action.
126 - SKB mark matching and setting.
127 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
128 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
129 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
130 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
131 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
132 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
133 The default log patterns now include this information.
135 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
136 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
137 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
139 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
140 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
141 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
142 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
143 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
144 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
145 - Tunnel header caching removed.
147 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
148 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
149 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
150 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
151 for these ports for different purposes).
153 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
154 the "add-if" command.
155 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
156 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
157 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
158 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
159 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
160 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
161 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
162 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
163 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
164 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
166 - Bridge compatibility.
168 - The autopath action.
169 - Interface type "null".
170 - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).

194 IPv4, IPv6, and ARP packets. (Previously, only CIDR masks
196 - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
197 the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
199 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
200 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
201 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
202 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
203 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
204 - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
205 flow table changes as they happen.
206 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
207 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
208 - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
209 sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
211 - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
212 instead the local timezone, by default.

233 information using the new port description multipart messages.
235 - Added support for spawning ovs-test server from the client.
236 - Now ovs-test is able to automatically create test bridges and ports.
237 - "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" now prints observed TCP flags in TCP flows.
238 - Tripled flow setup performance.
239 - The "coverage/log" command previously available through ovs-appctl
240 has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
241 coverage counter values, instead of logging them.

254 * New upstream version
256 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
257 Instead they drop traffic.
258 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
259 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
260 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
261 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
264 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
265 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
266 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
268 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
269 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
270 receive asynchronously.
271 - New "fin_timeout" action.
272 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
273 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
274 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
275 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
276 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
277 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
278 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
279 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
280 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
281 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
282 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
283 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
284 for more information.
285 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
286 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
287 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
288 - ofproto-provider interface:
289 - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
290 should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
292 - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
293 a timestamp with every update.
294 - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.

513 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
514 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
515 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
516 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
518 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
519 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
520 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
522 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
523 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
525 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
526 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
527 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
528 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
529 - Performance and scalability improvements
