17 * New upstream version
18 - The ovs-vswitchd process is no longer single-threaded. Multiple
19 threads are now used to handle flow set up and asynchronous
22 * Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and
23 1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).
24 * New support for matching outer source and destination IP address
25 of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly
26 added "remote_ip=flow" and "local_ip=flow" options.
27 * Support for matching on metadata 'pkt_mark' for interacting with
28 other system components. On Linux this corresponds to the skb
30 * Support matching, rewriting SCTP ports
31 - The Interface table in the database has a new "ifindex" column to
32 report the interface's OS-assigned ifindex.
33 - New "check-oftest" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open
34 vSwitch. See README-OFTest for details.
35 - The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
36 - Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options
37 through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name
38 should look like "--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key").
39 - Added ovs-dev.py, a utility script helpful for Open vSwitch developers.
40 - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.10
42 * New "ofp-parse" for printing OpenFlow messages read from a file.
43 - Added configurable flow caching support to IPFIX exporter.

53 * New upstream version
54 - Support for megaflows, which allows wildcarding in the kernel (and
55 any dpif implementation that supports wildcards). Depending on
56 the flow table and switch configuration, flow set up rates are
57 close to the Linux bridge.
58 - The "tutorial" directory contains a new tutorial for some advanced
59 Open vSwitch features.
60 - Stable bond mode has been removed.
61 - The autopath action has been removed.
62 - New support for the data encapsulation format of the LISP tunnel
63 protocol (RFC 6830). An external control plane or manual flow
64 setup is required for EID-to-RLOC mapping.
66 * The "dec_mpls_ttl" and "set_mpls_ttl" actions from OpenFlow
67 1.1 and later are now implemented.
68 * New "stack" extension for use in actions, to push and pop from
70 * The "load" and "set_field" actions can now modify the "in_port". (This
71 allows one to enable output to a flow's input port by setting the
72 in_port to some unused value, such as OFPP_NONE.)
74 * New debugging commands "add-flow", "mod-flow", "del-flow".
75 - In dpif-based bridges, cache action translations, which can improve
76 flow set up performance by 80% with a complicated flow table.
77 - New syslog format, prefixed with "ovs|", to be easier to filter.
78 - RHEL: Removes the default firewall rule that allowed GRE traffic to
79 pass through. Any users that relied on this automatic firewall hole
80 will have to manually configure it. The ovs-ctl(8) manpage documents
81 the "enable-protocol" command that can be used as an alternative.
82 - New CFM demand mode which uses data traffic to indicate interface

89 * New upstream version
90 - Bridge compatibility support has been removed. Any uses that
91 rely on ovs-brcompatd will have to stick with Open vSwitch 1.9.x
92 or adapt to native Open vSwitch support (e.g. use ovs-vsctl instead
94 - The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.
95 - With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
96 separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
97 possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
98 prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.
99 - Many "ovs-vsctl" database commands now accept an --if-exists option.
100 Please refer to the ovs-vsctl manpage for details.
102 - Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow. See
103 the "What versions of OpenFlow does Open vSwitch support?"
104 question in the FAQ for more details.
105 - The OpenFlow "dp_desc" may now be configured by setting the
106 value of other-config:dp-desc in the Bridge table.
107 - It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
108 "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.
110 - New support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol (see the IETF draft here:
111 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-03).
112 - Tunneling requires the version of the kernel module paired with
113 Open vSwitch 1.9.0 or later.
114 - Inheritance of the Don't Fragment bit in IP tunnels (df_inherit)
115 is no longer supported.
116 - Path MTU discovery is no longer supported.
118 - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
119 if only one datapath exists.
121 - New "vlog/disable-rate-limit" and "vlog/enable-rate-limit"
122 commands available allow control over logging rate limits.
123 - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
124 that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
125 - The ofproto library is now responsible for assigning OpenFlow port
126 numbers. An ofproto implementation should assign them when
127 port_construct() is called.
128 - All dpif-based bridges of a particular type share a common
129 datapath called "ovs-<type>", e.g. "ovs-system". The ovs-dpctl
130 commands will now return information on that shared datapath. To
131 get the equivalent bridge-specific information, use the new
132 "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands.
133 - Backward-incompatible changes:
134 - Earlier Open vSwitch versions treated ANY as a wildcard in flow
135 syntax. OpenFlow 1.1 adds a port named ANY, which introduces a
136 conflict. ANY was rarely used in flow syntax, so we chose to
137 retire that meaning of ANY in favor of the OpenFlow 1.1 meaning.
138 - Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
139 with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

147 - Support for ipv6 set action.
148 - SKB mark matching and setting.
149 - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
150 - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
151 Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
152 - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
153 - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
154 cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
155 The default log patterns now include this information.
157 - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
158 fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
159 - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
161 - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
162 symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
163 tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
164 - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
165 - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
166 This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
167 - Tunnel header caching removed.
169 - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
170 that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
171 also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
172 with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
173 for these ports for different purposes).
175 - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
176 the "add-if" command.
177 - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
178 the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
179 alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
180 are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
181 feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
182 program was not included in distribution packaging.)
183 - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
184 was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
185 - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
186 earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with

219 the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
221 - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
222 - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
223 queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all
224 ports, if the specified queue does not exist on any port. (Previous
225 versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
226 - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of
227 flow table changes as they happen.
228 - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
229 false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.

278 - LACP bonds no longer fall back to balance-slb when negotiations fail.
279 Instead they drop traffic.
280 - The default bond_mode changed from SLB to active-backup, to protect
281 unsuspecting users from the significant risks of SLB bonds (which are
282 documented in vswitchd/INTERNALS).
283 - Load balancing can be disabled by setting the bond-rebalance-interval
286 - Added support for bitwise matching on TCP and UDP ports.
287 See ovs-ofctl(8) for more information.
288 - NXM flow dumps now include times elapsed toward idle and hard
290 - Added an OpenFlow extension NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG that allows
291 controllers more precise control over which OpenFlow messages they
292 receive asynchronously.
293 - New "fin_timeout" action.
294 - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
295 - The default MAC learning timeout has been increased from 60 seconds
296 to 300 seconds. The MAC learning timeout is now configurable.
297 - When QoS settings for an interface do not configure a default queue
298 (queue 0), Open vSwitch now uses a default configuration for that
299 queue, instead of dropping all packets as in previous versions.
300 - Logging to console and file will have UTC timestamp as a default for all
301 the daemons. An example of the default format is 2012-01-27T16:35:17Z.
302 ovs-appctl can be used to change the default format as before.
303 - New support for limiting the number of flows in an OpenFlow flow
304 table, with configurable policy for evicting flows upon
305 overflow. See the Flow_Table table in ovs-vswitch.conf.db(5)
306 for more information.
307 - New "enable-async-messages" column in the Controller table. If set to
308 false, OpenFlow connections to the controller will initially have all
309 asynchronous messages disabled, overriding normal OpenFlow behavior.

515 - Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
516 - Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
518 - New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
520 - Implement table unique constraints.
521 - Support cooperative locking between callers.
523 - New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
524 counters for each port.
526 - New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
528 - New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
529 - New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
530 - ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
531 - ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
532 tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
533 use ovs-vswitchd instead.
534 - New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
535 - A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
536 "off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
537 "emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
538 level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
540 - "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
541 --with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
542 names will be removed after the next release, so please update
544 - The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
545 datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
547 - Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
548 Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
549 - Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
550 to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
551 - Performance and scalability improvements
