post-v1.9.0
--------------------
+ - Bridge compatibility support has been removed. Any uses that
+ rely on ovs-brcompatd will have to stick with Open vSwitch 1.9.x
+ or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
+ of brctl).
- The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
- New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02).
separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
+ - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
+ Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
- New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit" commands
available through ovs-appctl allow control over logging rate limits.
- The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the value of
syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
+ - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit) is
+ no longer supported.
+ - Patch ports are implemented in userspace.
+ - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with Open
+ vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
