- Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
- Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
+ - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
+ "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
- ovs-ofctl:
- Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
- ovs-dpctl:
- Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
the "add-if" command.
+ - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
+ if only one datapath exists.
+ - ovs-appctl:
+ - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
+ that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
- ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
- ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
- New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
+ - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
+ numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
+ port_construct() is called.
+ - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
+ datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
+ commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
+ get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
+ "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
+ - Tunnel header caching removed.
- The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
concerns.
- Interface type "null".
- Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
- Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
-
+ - CAPWAP tunnel support.
+ - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
+ data in ARP packets.
