- 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.
+ - Datapath: Support for ipv6 set action.
- 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.
- ovs-dpctl:
- Support requesting the port number with the "port_no" option in
the "add-if" command.
+ - The "dump-flows" and "del-flows" no longer require an argument
+ if only one datapath exists.
+ - ovs-appctl:
+ - New "dpif/dump-dps", "dpif/show", and "dpif/dump-flows" command
+ that mimic the equivalent ovs-dpctl commands.
- 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
- 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.
+ - Tunnel header caching removed.
- The following features are now deprecated. They will be removed no
earlier than February 2013. Please email dev@openvswitch.org with
concerns.
- 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.
