- 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).
+ - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
+ 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.
- 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.
v1.9.0 - xx xxx xxxx
