openvswitch (2.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Open vSwitch team ]
+ * New upstream version
+ - Flow table modifications are now atomic, meaning that each packet
+ now sees a coherent version of the OpenFlow pipeline. For
+ example, if a controller removes all flows with a single OpenFlow
+ flow_mod, no packet sees an intermediate version of the OpenFlow
+ pipeline where only some of the flows have been deleted.
+ - Added support for SFQ, FQ_CoDel and CoDel qdiscs.
+ - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-vsctl Please check
+ utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
+ - The MAC learning feature now includes per-port fairness to mitigate
+ MAC flooding attacks.
+ - New support for a conjunctive match OpenFlow extension, which
+ allows constructing OpenFlow matches of the form field1 in
+ {a,b,c...} AND field2 in {d,e,f...} and generalizations. For details,
+ see documentation for the conjunction action in ovs-ofctl(8).
+ - Add bash command-line completion support for ovs-appctl/ovs-dpctl/
+ ovs-ofctl/ovsdb-tool commands. Please check
+ utilities/ovs-command-compgen.INSTALL.md for how to use.
+ - The learn action supports a new flag delete_learned that causes
+ the learned flows to be deleted when the flow with the learn action
+ is deleted.
+ - Basic support for the Geneve tunneling protocol. It is not yet
+ possible to generate or match options. This is planned for a future
+ 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, as well as datapath performance counters.
+ - 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 1.4 bundles are now supported for flow mods and port
+ mods. For flow mods, both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle flags
+ are trivially supported, as all bundled messages are executed
+ in the order they were added and all flow table modifications
+ are now atomic to the datapath. Port mods may not appear in
+ atomic bundles, as port status modifications are not atomic.
+ * IPv6 flow label and neighbor discovery fields are now modifiable.
+ * OpenFlow 1.5 extended registers are now supported.
+ * The OpenFlow 1.5 actset_output field is now supported.
+ * OpenFlow 1.5 Copy-Field action is now supported.
+ * OpenFlow 1.5 masked Set-Field action is now supported.
+ * OpenFlow 1.3+ table features requests are now supported (read-only).
+ * Nicira extension move actions may now be included in action sets.
+ * 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.
+ * A new Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ allows control over the
+ fields hashed for OpenFlow select groups. See selection_method and
+ related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for details.
+ - ovs-ofctl has a new '--bundle' option that makes the flow mod commands
+ ('add-flow', 'add-flows', 'mod-flows', 'del-flows', and 'replace-flows')
+ use an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle to operate the modifications as a single
+ atomic transaction. If any of the flow mods in a transaction fail, none
+ of them are executed. All flow mods in a bundle appear to datapath
+ lookups simultaneously.
+ - ovs-ofctl 'add-flow' and 'add-flows' commands now accept arbitrary flow
+ mods as an input by allowing the flow specification to start with an
+ explicit 'add', 'modify', 'modify_strict', 'delete', or 'delete_strict'
+ keyword. A missing keyword is treated as 'add', so this is fully
+ backwards compatible. With the new '--bundle' option all the flow mods
+ are executed as a single atomic transaction using an OpenFlow 1.4 bundle.
