+ - New FAQ. Please send updates and additions!
+ - ovs-ofctl:
+ - "mod-port" command can now control all OpenFlow config flags.
+ - OpenFlow:
+ - Allow general bitwise masking for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
+ IPv4, IPv6, and ARP packets. (Previously, only CIDR masks
+ were allowed.)
+ - Allow support for arbitrary Ethernet masks. (Previously, only
+ the multicast bit in the destination address could be individually
+ masked.)
+ - 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.
