documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
- Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
to zero.
- - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
- the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
- ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
+ - OpenFlow:
+ - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
+ See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
+ - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
+ timeouts.
+ - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
+ controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
+ receive asynchronously.
+ - New "fin_timeout" action.
+ - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
+ - New Nicira action NXAST_CONTROLLER that offers additional features
+ over output to OFPP_CONTROLLER.
+ - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
+ to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
+ - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
+ (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
+ queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
+ - Logging:
+ - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for
+ all the daemons. An example of the default format is
+ 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z. ovs-appctl can be used to change the default
+ format as before.
+ - The syntax of commands and options to set log levels was simplified,
+ to make it easier to remember.
- New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
for more information.
+ - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
+ false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
+ asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
- ofproto-provider interface:
- "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
- - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
- to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
+ - ovsdb-client:
+ - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
+ a timestamp with every update.
+ - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.
