Post-v1.2.0
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2011-08-10 13:05:17 -07:00
|
|
|
- OpenFlow:
|
|
|
|
|
- Added an OpenFlow extension which allows the "output" action to accept
|
|
|
|
|
NXM fields.
|
2011-09-12 16:19:57 -07:00
|
|
|
- Added an OpenFlow extension for flexible learning.
|
2011-08-01 21:18:00 -07:00
|
|
|
- ovs-appctl:
|
|
|
|
|
- New "version" command to determine version of running daemon
|
2011-08-09 09:24:18 -07:00
|
|
|
- ovs-vswitchd:
|
|
|
|
|
- The software switch now supports 255 OpenFlow tables, instead
|
|
|
|
|
of just one. By default, only table 0 is consulted, but the
|
|
|
|
|
new NXAST_RESUBMIT_TABLE action can look up in additional
|
|
|
|
|
tables. Tables 128 and above are reserved for use by the
|
|
|
|
|
switch itself; please use only tables 0 through 127.
|
2011-09-12 10:43:46 -07:00
|
|
|
- CAPWAP tunneling now supports an extension to transport a 64-key. By
|
|
|
|
|
default it remains compatible with the old version and other
|
|
|
|
|
standards-based implementations.
|
2011-09-16 15:23:37 -07:00
|
|
|
- Flow setups are now processed in a round-robin manner across ports
|
|
|
|
|
to prevent any single client from monopolizing the CPU and conducting
|
|
|
|
|
a denial of service attack.
|
2011-09-23 17:03:03 -07:00
|
|
|
- Added support for native VLAN tagging. A new "vlan_mode"
|
|
|
|
|
parameter can be set for "port". Possible values: "access",
|
|
|
|
|
"trunk", "native-tagged" and "native-untagged".

v1.2.0 - 03 Aug 2011
|
2011-04-26 09:42:18 -07:00
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2011-08-02 23:15:30 -07:00
|
|
|
- New "ofproto" abstraction layer to ease porting to hardware
|
|
|
|
|
switching ASICs.
|
|
|
|
|
- Packaging for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 and 6.0.
|
|
|
|
|
- Datapath support for Linux kernels up to 3.0.
|
|
|
|
|
- OpenFlow:
|
|
|
|
|
- New "bundle" and "bundle_load" action extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
- Database:
|
|
|
|
|
- Implement table unique constraints.
|
|
|
|
|
- Support cooperative locking between callers.
|
|
|
|
|
- ovs-dpctl:
|
|
|
|
|
- New "-s" option for "show" command prints packet and byte
|
|
|
|
|
counters for each port.
|
2011-07-27 14:58:10 -07:00
|
|
|
- ovs-ofctl:
|
|
|
|
|
- New "--readd" option for "replace-flows".
|
2011-05-24 13:03:58 -07:00
|
|
|
- ovs-vsctl:
|
|
|
|
|
- New "show" command to print an overview of configuration.
|
2011-08-02 23:15:30 -07:00
|
|
|
- New "comment" command to add remark that explains intentions.
|
2011-06-08 09:15:38 -07:00
|
|
|
- ovs-brcompatd has been rewritten to fix long-standing bugs.
|
2011-06-07 09:40:53 -07:00
|
|
|
- ovs-openflowd has been renamed test-openflowd and moved into the
|
|
|
|
|
tests directory. Its presence confused too many users. Please
|
|
|
|
|
use ovs-vswitchd instead.
|
2011-08-02 23:15:30 -07:00
|
|
|
- New ovs-benchmark utility to test flow setup performance.
|
|
|
|
|
- A new log level "off" has been added. Configuring a log facility
|
|
|
|
|
"off" prevents any messages from being logged to it. Previously,
|
|
|
|
|
"emer" was effectively "off" because no messages were ever logged at
|
|
|
|
|
level "emer". Now, errors that cause a process to exit are logged
|
|
|
|
|
at "emer" level.
|
2011-06-22 11:07:33 -07:00
|
|
|
- "configure" option --with-l26 has been renamed --with-linux, and
|
|
|
|
|
--with-l26-source has been renamed --with-linux-source. The old
|
|
|
|
|
names will be removed after the next release, so please update
|
|
|
|
|
your scripts.
|
2011-06-23 17:10:00 -07:00
|
|
|
- The "-2.6" suffix has been dropped from the datapath/linux-2.6 and
|
|
|
|
|
datapath/linux-2.6/compat-2.6 directories.
|
2011-04-26 09:42:18 -07:00
|
|
|
- Feature removals:
|
|
|
|
|
- Dropped support for "tun_id_from_cookie" OpenFlow extension.
|
2011-08-02 23:15:30 -07:00
|
|
|
Please use the extensible match extensions instead.
|
2011-05-12 15:28:43 -07:00
|
|
|
- Removed the Maintenance_Point and Monitor tables in an effort
|
|
|
|
|
to simplify 802.1ag configuration.
|

|
|
|
|
|
