release. The protocol is documented at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
- The OVS database now reports controller rate limiting statistics.
+ - sflow now exports information about LACP-based bonds, port names, and
+ OpenFlow port numbers.
- ovs-dpctl functionality is now available for datapaths integrated
into ovs-vswitchd, via ovs-appctl. Some existing ovs-appctl
commands are now redundant and will be removed in a future
release. See ovs-vswitchd(8) for details.
- OpenFlow:
* OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) extended registers are now supported.
+ * The OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) actset_output field is now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) Copy-Field action is now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) masked Set-Field action is now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
* "resubmit" actions may now be included in action sets. The resubmit
is executed last, and only if the action set has no "output" or "group"
action.
+ * OpenFlow 1.4+ flow "importance" is now maintained in the flow table.
- ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
it in OpenSSL.
- Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
file for additional details.
- - Experimental support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
- (IEEE 802.1D-2004). More conformance and interoperability testing is
- still needed, so this should not be enabled on production environments.
+ - Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
+ The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
+ Network Validation Library (ANVL).
- Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
- Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
- A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
+ - Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN and GRE are supported protocols.
+ This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
+ - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1 and IGMPv2)
+ - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.18.x
v2.3.0 - 14 Aug 2014
packets with the larger number of masks, but when paired with an
older kernel module, some workloads may perform worse with the
new userspace.
- - Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1 and IGMPv2)
- Compatibility with autoconf 2.63 (previously >=2.64)
v2.2.0 - Internal Release
