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

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

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

+ - SKB mark matching and setting.
+ - support for Linux kernels up to 3.8
+ - FreeBSD is now a supported platform, thanks to code contributions from
+ Gaetano Catalli, Ed Maste, and Giuseppe Lettieri.
+ - ovs-bugtool: New --ovs option to report only OVS related information.
+ - New %t and %T log escapes to identify the subprogram within a
+ cooperating group of processes or threads that emitted a log message.
+ The default log patterns now include this information.
+ - OpenFlow:
+ - Allow bitwise masking for SHA and THA fields in ARP, SLL and TLL
+ fields in IPv6 neighbor discovery messages, and IPv6 flow label.
+ - Adds support for writing to the metadata field for a flow.
+ - Tunneling:
+ - The tunneling code no longer assumes input and output keys are
+ symmetric. If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled for
+ tunneling to work. Note this only applies to flow-based keys.
+ - New support for a nonstandard form of GRE that supports a 64-bit key.
+ - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery default value was set to 'disabled'.
+ This feature is deprecated and will be removed soon.
+ - Tunnel header caching removed.
+ - ovs-ofctl:
+ - Commands and actions that accept port numbers now also accept keywords
+ that represent those ports (such as LOCAL, NONE, and ALL). This is
+ also the recommended way to specify these ports, for compatibility
+ with OpenFlow 1.1 and later (which use the OpenFlow 1.0 numbers
+ for these ports for different purposes).
+ - ovs-dpctl:
+ - Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
+ the "add-if" command.
+ - ovs-pki: The "online PKI" features have been removed, along with
+ the ovs-pki-cgi program that facilitated it, because of some
+ alarmist insecurity claims. We do not believe that these claims
+ are true, but because we do not know of any users for this
+ feature it seems better on balance to remove it. (The ovs-pki-cgi
+ program was not included in distribution packaging.)
+ - ovsdb-server now enforces the immutability of immutable columns. This
+ was not enforced in earlier versions due to an oversight.
+ - The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
+ earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
+ concerns.
+ - Bridge compatibility.
+ - Stable bond mode.
+ - The autopath action.
+ - Interface type "null".
+ - Numeric values for reserved ports (see "ovs-ofctl" note above).
+ - Tunnel Path MTU Discovery.
+ - CAPWAP tunnel support.
+ - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
+ data in ARP packets.

+ were allowed.)
+ - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
+ the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
+ masked.)
+ - New field OXM_OF_METADATA, to align with OpenFlow 1.1.
+ - The OFPST_QUEUE request now reports an error if a specified port or
+ queue does not exist, or for requests for a specific queue on all

+ versions generally reported an empty set of results.)
+ - New "flow monitor" feature to allow controllers to be notified of

+ - Additional protocols are not mirrored and dropped when forward-bpdu is
+ false. For a full list, see the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page.
+ - Open vSwitch now sends RARP packets in situations where it previously
+ sent a custom protocol, making it consistent with behavior of QEMU and
+ VMware.
+ - All Open vSwitch programs and log files now show timestamps in UTC,
+ instead the local timezone, by default.

+ - Added "fin_timeout" support to "learn" action.
+ - 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 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.
+ - 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

+openvswitch (1.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ [ Open vSwitch team ]
+ * New upstream version
+ - Ability to define policies over IPv6
+ - LACP
+ - 802.1ag CCM
+ - Support for extensible match extensions to OpenFlow
+ - QoS:
+ - Support for HFSC qdisc.
+ - Queue used by in-band control can now be configured.
+ - Kernel:
+ - Kernel<->userspace interface has been reworked and should be
+ close to a stable ABI now.
+ - "Port group" concept has been dropped.
+ - GRE over IPSEC tunnels
+ - Bonding:
+ - New active backup bonding mode.
+ - New L4 hashing support when LACP is enabled.
+ - Source MAC hash now includes VLAN field also.
+ - miimon support.
+ - Greatly improved handling of large flow tables
+ - ovs-dpctl:
+ - "show" command now prints full vport configuration.
+ - "dump-groups" command removed since kernel support for
+ port groups was dropped.
+ - ovs-vsctl:
+ - New commands for working with the new Managers table.
+ - "list" command enhanced with new formatting options and --columns
+ option.
+ - "get" command now accepts new --id option.
+ - New "find" command.
+ - ovs-ofctl:
+ - New "queue-stats" command for printing queue stats.
+ - New commands "replace-flows" and "diff-flows".
+ - Commands to add and remove flows can now read from files.
+ - New --flow-format option to enable or disable NXM.
+ - New --more option to increase OpenFlow message verbosity.
+ - Removed "tun-cookie" command, which is no longer useful.
+ - ovs-controller enhancements for testing various features.
+ - New ovs-vlan-test command for testing for Linux kernel driver VLAN
+ bugs. New ovs-vlan-bug-workaround command for enabling and
+ disabling a workaround for these driver bugs.
+ - OpenFlow support:
+ - "Resubmit" actions now update flow statistics.
+ - New "register" extension for use in matching and actions, via NXM.
+ - New "multipath" experimental action extension.
+ - New support for matching multicast Ethernet frames, via NXM.
+ - New extension for OpenFlow vendor error codes.
+ - New extension to set the QoS output queue without actually
+ sending to an output port.
+ - Open vSwitch now reports a single flow table, instead of
+ separate hash and wildcard tables. This better models the
+ current implementation.
+ - New experimental "note" action.
+ - New "ofproto/trace" ovs-appctl command and associated utilities
+ to ease debugging complex flow tables.
+ - Database:
+ - Schema documentation now includes an entity-relationship diagram.
+ - The database is now garbage collected. In most tables,
+ unreferenced rows will be deleted automatically.
+ - Many tables now include statistics updated periodically by
+ ovs-vswitchd or ovsdb-server.
+ - Every table now has an "external-ids" column for use by OVS
+ integrators.
+ - There is no default controller anymore. Each bridge must have its
+ controller individually specified.
+ - The "fail-mode" is now a property of a Bridge instead of a Controller.
+ - New versioning and checksum features.
+ - New Managers table and manager_options column in Open_vSwitch table
+ for specifying managers. The old "managers" column in the
+ Open_vSwitch table has been removed.
+ - Many "name" columns are now immutable.
+ - Feature removals:
+ - Dropped support for XenServer pre-5.6.100.
+ - Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.18.
+ - Dropped controller discovery support.
+ - Dropped "ovs-ofctl status" and the OpenFlow extension that it used.
+ Statistics reporting in the database is a rough equivalent.
+ - Dropped the "corekeeper" package (now separate, at
+ http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=corekeeper).
+ - Performance and scalability improvements
+ - Bug fixes
