5 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
6 Instead they drop traffic.
7 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
8 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
9 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
10 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
13 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
14 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
15 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
17 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
18 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
19 receive asynchronously.
20 - New "fin_timeout" action.
21 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
22 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
23 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
24 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
25 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
26 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
27 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
28 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
29 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
30 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
31 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
32 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
34 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
35 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
36 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
37 - ofproto-provider interface:
38 - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
39 should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
41 - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
42 a timestamp with every update.
43 - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.

55 - Added daemonization support to the monitor and snoop commands.
57 - The "find" command supports new set relational operators
58 {=}, {!=}, {<}, {>}, {<=}, and {>=}.
59 - ovsdb-tool now uses the typical database and schema installation
60 directories as defaults.

79 * New upstream version
80 - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
81 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
82 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
83 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
84 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
87 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
88 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
89 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
90 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
91 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
93 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
94 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
96 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
98 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
100 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
101 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
103 - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.
104 - Debian: Depend on python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse instead of
105 python-argparse to avoid pulling in python2.6

112 * New upstream version
114 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
116 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
117 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
119 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
120 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
121 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
122 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
123 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
125 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
126 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
127 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
128 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
129 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
130 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
131 - Fragment handling extensions:
132 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
133 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
135 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
136 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
137 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
138 fragment handling policy.
139 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
140 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
141 standards-based implementations.
142 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
143 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
144 a denial of service attack.
145 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
146 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
147 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
148 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

158 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
159 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
161 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
163 - Implement table unique constraints.
164 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
166 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
167 counters for each port.
169 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
171 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
172 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
173 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
174 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
175 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
176 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
177 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
178 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
179 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
180 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
181 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
183 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
184 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
185 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
187 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
188 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
190 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
191 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
192 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
193 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
