- 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.
- 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.
-
+ - The data in the RARP packets can now be matched in the same way as the
+ data in ARP packets.
