10 * New upstream version
11 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
12 Open vSwitch features.
13 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
14 - The autopath action has been removed.
15 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
16 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
17 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
19 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
20 1.1 and later are now implemented.
21 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
24 * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
25 - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
26 - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
27 pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
28 will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
29 the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.

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

91 * New upstream version
93 - Support for ipv6 set action.
94 - SKB mark matching and setting.
95 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
96 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
97 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
98 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
99 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
100 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
101 The default log patterns now include this information.
103 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
104 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
105 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
107 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
108 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
109 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
110 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
111 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
112 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
113 - Tunnel header caching removed.
115 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
116 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
117 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
118 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
119 for these ports for different purposes).
121 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
122 the "add-if" command.
123 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
124 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
125 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
126 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
127 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
128 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
129 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
130 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
131 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
132 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
134 - Bridge compatibility.
136 - The autopath action.
137 - Interface type "null".
138 - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
139 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
140 - CAPWAP tunnel support.
141 - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the

164 - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
165 the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
167 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
168 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
169 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
170 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
171 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
172 - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
173 flow table changes as they happen.
174 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
175 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
176 - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
177 sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
179 - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
180 instead the local timezone, by default.

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

208 has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
209 coverage counter values, instead of logging them.

222 * New upstream version
224 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
225 Instead they drop traffic.
226 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
227 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
228 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
229 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
232 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
233 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
234 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
236 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
237 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
238 receive asynchronously.
239 - New "fin_timeout" action.
240 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
241 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
242 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
243 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
244 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
245 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
246 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
247 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
248 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
249 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
250 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
251 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
252 for more information.
253 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
254 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
255 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
256 - ofproto-provider interface:
257 - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
258 should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
260 - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
261 a timestamp with every update.
262 - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.

527 - Ability to define policies over IPv6
530 - Support for extensible match extensions to OpenFlow
532 - Support for HFSC qdisc.
533 - Queue used by in-band control can now be configured.
535 - Kernel<->userspace interface has been reworked and should be
536 close to a stable ABI now.
537 - "Port group" concept has been dropped.
538 - GRE over IPSEC tunnels
540 - New active backup bonding mode.
541 - New L4 hashing support when LACP is enabled.
542 - Source MAC hash now includes VLAN field also.
544 - Greatly improved handling of large flow tables
546 - "show" command now prints full vport configuration.
547 - "dump-groups" command removed since kernel support for
548 port groups was dropped.
550 - New commands for working with the new Managers table.
551 - "list" command enhanced with new formatting options and --columns
553 - "get" command now accepts new --id option.
554 - New "find" command.
556 - New "queue-stats" command for printing queue stats.
557 - New commands "replace-flows" and "diff-flows".
558 - Commands to add and remove flows can now read from files.
559 - New --flow-format option to enable or disable NXM.
560 - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
561 - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
562 - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
563 - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
564 bugs. New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
565 disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
567 - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
568 - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.
569 - New "multipath" experimental action extension.

572 - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
573 sending to an output port.
574 - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
575 separate hash and wildcard tables. This better models the
576 current implementation.
577 - New experimental "note" action.
578 - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
579 to ease debugging complex flow tables.
581 - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.

598 - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.18.
599 - Dropped controller discovery support.
600 - Dropped "ovs-ofctl status" and the OpenFlow extension that it used.
601 Statistics reporting in the database is a rough equivalent.
602 - Dropped the "corekeeper" package (now separate, at
603 http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=corekeeper).
604 - Performance and scalability improvements
