New columns + "prefixes" in OVS-DB table "Flow_Table" controls which packet + header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix + tracking allows the classifier to skip rules with longer than + necessary prefixes, resulting in better wildcarding for datapath + flows. Default configuration is to not use any fields for prefix + tracking. However, if any flow tables contain both exact matches + and masked matches for IP address fields, OVS performance may be + increased by using this feature. + * As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled + are: 'tun_id', 'tun_src', 'tun_dst', 'nw_src', 'nw_dst' (or + aliases 'ip_src' and 'ip_dst'), 'ipv6_src', and 'ipv6_dst'. + (Using this feature for 'tun_id' would only make sense if the + tunnel IDs have prefix structure similar to IP addresses.) + * There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any + one flow table. Currently this limit is 3. + * Examples: + $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:0=@N1 -- \ + --id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table0 + $ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:1=@N1 -- \ + --id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table1 + $ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table0 prefixes=ip_dst,ip_src + $ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table1 prefixes=[] + - TCP flags matching: OVS now supports matching of TCP flags. This + has an adverse performance impact when using OVS userspace 1.10 + or older (no megaflows support) together with the new OVS kernel + module. It is recommended that the kernel and userspace modules + both are upgraded at the same time. + - The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports will change to + IANA-assigned numbers in a future release. Consider updating + your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the + defaults. + - OpenFlow: + * The OpenFlow 1.1+ "Write-Actions" instruction is now supported. + * OVS limits the OpenFlow port numbers it assigns to port 32767 and + below, leaving port numbers above that range free for assignment + by the controller. + * ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the "ofport_request" column + in the Interface table by changing the port's OpenFlow port + number. + - ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot + diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time. + - Support for Linux kernels up to 3.11 + - ovs-dpctl: + The "show" command also displays mega flow mask stats. + - ovs-ofctl: + * New command "ofp-parse-pcap" to dump OpenFlow from PCAP files. + - ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer + packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed + incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part + of an Open vSwitch deployment. + - Added vlog option to export to a UDP syslog sink. + - ovsdb-client: + * The "monitor" command can now monitor all tables in a database, + instead of being limited to a single table. + - The flow-eviction-threshold has been replaced by the flow-limit which is a + hard limit on the number of flows in the datapath. It defaults to 200,000 + flows. OVS automatically adjusts this number depending on network + conditions. * The openvswitch-controller package has been removed, because too many users assumed incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part of an Open vSwitch deployment. - * New upstream version - - Try NEWS for more details... - - -- Open vSwitch team Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:17:38 -0700 + -- Open vSwitch team Mon, 23 Dec 2013 18:07:18 -0700 openvswitch (2.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Open vSwitch team ] -- 2.20.1
