4 - kernel modules are renamed. openvswitch_mod.ko is now
5 openvswitch.ko and brcompat_mod.ko is now brcompat.ko.
6 - Increased the number of NXM registers to 8.
7 - Added ability to configure dscp setting for manager and controller
8 connections. By default, these connections have a DSCP value of
9 Internetwork Control (0xc0).
10 - Added the granular link health statistics, 'cfm_health', to an
13 - Added support to mask nd_target for ICMPv6 neighbor discovery flows.
14 - Added support for OpenFlow 1.3 port description (OFPMP_PORT_DESC)
17 - Added the "dump-ports-desc" command to retrieve port
18 information using the new port description multipart messages.
20 - Added support for spawning ovs-test server from the client.
21 - Now ovs-test is able to automatically create test bridges and ports.
22 - "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" now prints observed TCP flags in TCP flows.
23 - Tripled flow setup performance.
24 - The "coverage/log" command previously available through ovs-appctl
25 has been replaced by "coverage/show". The new command replies with
26 coverage counter values, instead of logging them.

39 * New upstream version
41 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
42 Instead they drop traffic.
43 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
44 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
45 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
46 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
49 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
50 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
51 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
53 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
54 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
55 receive asynchronously.
56 - New "fin_timeout" action.
57 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
58 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
59 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
60 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
61 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
62 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
63 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
64 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
65 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
66 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
67 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
68 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
70 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
71 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
72 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.
73 - ofproto-provider interface:
74 - "struct rule" has a new member "used" that ofproto implementations
75 should maintain by updating with ofproto_rule_update_used().
77 - The new option --timestamp causes the "monitor" command to print
78 a timestamp with every update.
79 - CFM module CCM broadcasts can now be tagged with an 802.1p priority.

93 - The "find" command supports new set relational operators
94 {=}, {!=}, {<}, {>}, {<=}, and {>=}.

96 directories as defaults.

201 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
202 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
203 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
204 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more

213 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
214 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
216 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
218 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
220 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
221 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or

236 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
237 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
239 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
240 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
241 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
242 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
243 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
245 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
246 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
247 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
248 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
249 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
250 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
251 - Fragment handling extensions:
252 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
253 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
255 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
256 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
257 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
258 fragment handling policy.

260 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
261 standards-based implementations.
262 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
263 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
264 a denial of service attack.

266 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
267 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".

299 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
300 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
301 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
