18 * New upstream version
19 - Address prefix tracking support for flow tables. New columns
20 "prefixes" in OVS-DB table "Flow_Table" controls which packet
21 header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix
22 tracking allows the classifier to skip rules with longer than
23 necessary prefixes, resulting in better wildcarding for datapath
24 flows. Default configuration is to not use any fields for prefix
25 tracking. However, if any flow tables contain both exact matches
26 and masked matches for IP address fields, OVS performance may be
27 increased by using this feature.
28 * As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled
29 are: 'tun_id', 'tun_src', 'tun_dst', 'nw_src', 'nw_dst' (or
30 aliases 'ip_src' and 'ip_dst'), 'ipv6_src', and 'ipv6_dst'.
31 (Using this feature for 'tun_id' would only make sense if the
32 tunnel IDs have prefix structure similar to IP addresses.)
33 * There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any
34 one flow table. Currently this limit is 3.
36 $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:0=@N1 -- \
37 --id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table0
38 $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:1=@N1 -- \

40 $ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table0 prefixes=ip_dst,ip_src
41 $ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table1 prefixes=[]
42 - TCP flags matching: OVS now supports matching of TCP flags. This
43 has an adverse performance impact when using OVS userspace 1.10
44 or older (no megaflows support) together with the new OVS kernel
45 module. It is recommended that the kernel and userspace modules
46 both are upgraded at the same time.
47 - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports will change to
48 IANA-assigned numbers in a future release. Consider updating
49 your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the
52 * The OpenFlow 1.1+ "Write-Actions" instruction is now supported.
53 * OVS limits the OpenFlow port numbers it assigns to port 32767 and
54 below, leaving port numbers above that range free for assignment
56 * ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the "ofport_request" column
57 in the Interface table by changing the port's OpenFlow port
59 - ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot
60 diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time.
61 - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.11
63 The "show" command also displays mega flow mask stats.
65 * New command "ofp-parse-pcap" to dump OpenFlow from PCAP files.
66 - ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer
67 packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed
68 incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part
69 of an Open vSwitch deployment.
70 - Added vlog option to export to a UDP syslog sink.
72 * The "monitor" command can now monitor all tables in a database,
73 instead of being limited to a single table.
74 - The flow-eviction-threshold has been replaced by the flow-limit which is a
75 hard limit on the number of flows in the datapath. It defaults to 200,000
76 flows. OVS automatically adjusts this number depending on network
78 * The openvswitch-controller package has been removed, because too many
79 users assumed incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or
80 desirable part of an Open vSwitch deployment.

88 threads are now used to handle flow set up and asynchronous
91 * Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and
92 1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).
93 * New support for matching outer source and destination IP address
94 of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly
95 added "remote_ip=flow" and "local_ip=flow" options.
96 * Support for matching on metadata 'pkt_mark' for interacting with
97 other system components. On Linux this corresponds to the skb
99 * Support matching, rewriting SCTP ports
100 - The Interface table in the database has a new "ifindex" column to
101 report the interface's OS-assigned ifindex.
102 - New "check-oftest" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open
103 vSwitch. See README-OFTest for details.
104 - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
105 - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options
106 through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name
107 should look like "--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key").
108 - Added ovs-dev.py, a utility script helpful for Open vSwitch developers.
109 - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.10
111 * New "ofp-parse" for printing OpenFlow messages read from a file.
112 - Added configurable flow caching support to IPFIX exporter.

122 * New upstream version
123 - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
124 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
125 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
126 close to the Linux bridge.
127 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
128 Open vSwitch features.
129 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
130 - The autopath action has been removed.
131 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
132 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
133 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
135 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
136 1.1 and later are now implemented.
137 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
139 * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port". (This
140 allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
141 in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
143 * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
144 - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
145 flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
146 - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
147 - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
148 pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
149 will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
150 the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.

160 rely on ovs-brcompatd will have to stick with Open vSwitch 1.9.x
161 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
163 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
164 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
165 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
166 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
167 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
168 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
169 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
171 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
172 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
173 question in the FAQ for more details.
174 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
175 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
176 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
177 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
179 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
180 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
181 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
182 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
183 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
184 is no longer supported.
185 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
187 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
188 if only one datapath exists.
190 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
191 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
192 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
193 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
194 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
195 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
196 port_construct() is called.
197 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
198 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
199 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
200 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
201 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
202 - Backward-incompatible changes:
203 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
204 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
205 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
206 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
207 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
208 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

219 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
220 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
221 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
222 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
223 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
224 The default log patterns now include this information.
226 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
227 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
228 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
230 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
231 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
232 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
233 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
234 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
235 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
236 - Tunnel header caching removed.
238 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
239 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
240 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
241 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
242 for these ports for different purposes).
244 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
245 the "add-if" command.
246 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
247 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
248 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
249 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
250 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
251 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
252 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
253 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.

255 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with

292 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
293 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
294 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)

364 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
365 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
366 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
367 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
368 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
369 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
370 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
371 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.

373 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
374 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
375 for more information.

505 * New upstream version
506 - Compatible with Open vSwitch kernel module included in Linux 3.3.
507 - New "VLAN splinters" feature to work around buggy device drivers
508 in old Linux versions. (This feature is deprecated. When
509 broken device drivers are no longer in widespread use, we will
510 delete this feature.) See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) for more
513 - Added ability to match on IPv6 flow label through NXM.
514 - Added ability to match on ECN bits in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
515 - Added ability to match on TTL in IPv4 and IPv6 through NXM.
516 - Added ability to modify ECN bits in IPv4.
517 - Added ability to modify TTL in IPv4.
519 - Don't require the "normal" action to use mirrors. Traffic will
520 now be properly mirrored for any flows, regardless of their
522 - Track packet and byte statistics sent on mirrors.
524 - New "fdb/flush" command to flush bridge's MAC learning table.
526 - A new distributed testing tool that allows one to diagnose performance
527 and connectivity issues. This tool currently is not included in RH or
529 - RHEL packaging now supports integration with Red Hat network scripts.
530 - Debian: Depend on python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse instead of
531 python-argparse to avoid pulling in python2.6

536 openvswitch (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
537 [ Open vSwitch team ]
538 * New upstream version
540 - Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
542 - Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
543 - Bumped number of NXM registers from four to five.
545 - New "version" command to determine version of running daemon.
546 - If no argument is provided for "cfm/show", displays detailed
547 information about all interfaces with CFM enabled.
548 - If no argument is provided for "lacp/show", displays detailed
549 information about all ports with LACP enabled.
551 - The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
552 of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
553 new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
554 tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
555 switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
556 - Add support for 802.1D spanning tree (STP).
557 - Fragment handling extensions:
558 - New OFPC_FRAG_NX_MATCH fragment handling mode, in which L4
559 fields are made available for matching in fragments with
561 - New NXM_NX_IP_FRAG match field for matching IP fragments (usable
562 via "ip_frag" in ovs-ofctl).
563 - New ovs-ofctl "get-frags" and "set-frags" commands to get and set
564 fragment handling policy.
565 - CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
566 default it remains compatible with the old version and other
567 standards-based implementations.
568 - Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
569 to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
570 a denial of service attack.
571 - Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
572 parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
573 "trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".
574 - test-openflowd has been removed. Please use ovs-vswitchd instead.

578 openvswitch (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
580 [ Open vSwitch team ]
581 * New upstream version
582 - New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
584 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
585 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
587 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
589 - Implement table unique constraints.
590 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
592 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
593 counters for each port.
595 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
597 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
598 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
599 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
600 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
601 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
602 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
603 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
604 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
605 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
606 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
607 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
609 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
610 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
611 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
613 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
614 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
616 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
617 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
618 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
619 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
620 - Performance and scalability improvements
