- Added patch,
CVE-2023-1668.patch
* Tue May 02 2023 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Remove python/ovs/dirs.py prior to building: have this
re-generated based on the shipped template (boo#1210479).
* Wed Apr 05 2023 Duraisankar.pitchumani@suse.com
- Update OVS version to v3.1.0 and OVN version to v23.03.0
Some of the features are,
- ovs-vswitchd now detects changes in CPU affinity and adjusts the number
of handler and revalidator threads if necessary.
- AF_XDP:
* Added support for building with libxdp and libbpf >= 0.7.
* Support for AF_XDP is now enabled by default if all dependencies are
available at the build time. Use --disable-afxdp to disable.
Use --enable-afxdp to fail the build if dependencies are not present.
- ovs-appctl:
* "ovs-appctl ofproto/trace" command can now display port names with the
"--names" option.
- OVSDB-IDL:
* Add the support to specify the persistent uuid for row insert in both
C and Python IDLs.
- Windows:
* Conntrack IPv6 fragment support.
- DPDK:
* Add support for DPDK 22.11.1.
- For the QoS max-rate and STP/RSTP path-cost configuration OVS now assumes
10 Gbps link speed by default in case the actual link speed cannot be
determined. Previously it was 10 Mbps. Values can still be overridden
by specifying 'max-rate' or '[r]stp-path-cost' accordingly.
- OpenFlow:
* New OpenFlow extension NXT_CT_FLUSH to flush connections matching
the specified fields.
- ovs-ctl:
* New option '--dump-hugepages' to include hugepages in core dumps. This
can assist with postmortem analysis involving DPDK, but may also produce
significantly larger core dump files.
- ovs-dpctl and 'ovs-appctl dpctl/' commands:
* 'flush-conntrack' is now capable of handling partial 5-tuple,
with additional optional parameter to specify the reply direction.
- ovs-ofctl:
* New command 'flush-conntrack' that accepts zone and 5-tuple (or partial
5-tuple) for both directions.
- Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
dropped.
- Userspace datapath:
* Add '-secs' argument to appctl 'dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show' to show
the pmd usage of an Rx queue over a configurable time period.
* Add new experimental PMD load based sleeping feature. PMD threads can
request to sleep up to a user configured 'pmd-maxsleep' value under
low load conditions.

add openvswitch-2.17.2-Fix-tests-with-GNU-grep-3.8.patch
* Wed Aug 03 2022 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 2.17.2:
- Bug fixes
- DPDK:
* OVS validated with DPDK 21.11.1. It is recommended to use this version
until further releases.
- Bug fixes
- libopenvswitch API change:
* To fix the Undefined Behavior issue causing the compiler to incorrectly
optimize important parts of code, container iteration macros (e.g.,
LIST_FOR_EACH) have been re-implemented in a UB-safe way.
* Backwards compatibility has mostly been preserved, however the
user-provided pointer is now set to NULL after the loop (unless it
exited via "break;")
* Users of libopenvswitch will need to double-check the use of such loop
macros before compiling with a new version.
* Since the change is limited to the definitions within the headers, the
ABI is not affected.

of internal headers from SPEC-install section and use patches
(for upstreaming) instead.
* install-ovsdb-tools.patch
* Added 0001-openvswitch-merge-compiler.h-files-into-one-file.patch
* Added 0002-build-Seperated-common-used-headers.patch
- Enabled check section / running testsuite by default to validate
build result. There must no problems with the testsuite anymore as

* Removed experimental tag for PMD Auto Load Balance.
* New configuration knob 'other_config:n-offload-threads' to change the
number of HW offloading threads.
* DPDK:
* EAL argument --socket-mem is no longer configured by default upon
start-up. If dpdk-socket-mem and dpdk-alloc-mem are not specified,
DPDK defaults will be used.
* EAL argument --socket-limit no longer takes on the value of --socket-mem
by default. 'other_config:dpdk-socket-limit' can be set equal to
the 'other_config:dpdk-socket-mem' to preserve the legacy memory
limiting behavior.

- Update OVS to version 2.16.0
* Fix CVE-2021-36980 (boo#1188524)
openvswitch 2.11.0 through 2.15.0 has a use-after-free in
decode_NXAST_RAW_ENCAP (called from ofpact_decode and ofpacts_decode)
during the decoding of a RAW_ENCAP action
* Removed support for 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman key exchange
* Rate limiting configuration now supports setting packet-per-second
limits in addition to the previously configurable byte rate settings.
* OVSDB:
* Introduced new database service model - "relay".
* New command line options --record/--replay for ovsdb-server and
ovsdb-client to record and replay all the incoming transactions,
monitors, etc.

* ovs-vswitchd will configure the kernel module using per-cpu dispatch
mode (if available). This changes the way upcalls are delivered to
user space in order to resolve a number of issues with per-vport dispatch.
* New vswitchd unixctl command `dpif-netlink/dispatch-mode` will return
the current dispatch mode for each datapath.
- Update OVS to version 2.15.0
* OVSDB:
* Changed format in which ovsdb transactions are stored in
database files. Now each transaction contains diff of data
instead of the whole new value of a column.
* New unixctl command 'ovsdb-server/get-db-storage-status'
* New unixctl command 'ovsdb-server/memory-trim-on-compaction on|off'.
* Maximum backlog on RAFT connections limited to 500 messages or 4GB.
* DPDK: Removed support for vhost-user dequeue zero-copy.
* Add support for DPDK 20.11.
* The environment variable OVS_UNBOUND_CONF, if set, is now used
as the DNS resolver's (unbound) configuration file.

is useful for more efficient load balancing, for example. This
uses the Netronome extension to OpenFlow 1.5+ that allows
control over the OpenFlow select groups selection method. See
"selection_method" and related options in ovs-ofctl(8) for
details.
- The "sample" action now supports "ingress" and "egress" options.

syntax is deprecated and will be removed in a later OVS
release.
- New unixctl "ofctl/packet-out" command, which can be used to
instruct a flow monitor to issue OpenFlow packet-out messages.
* ovsdb-server:
- Remote connections can now be made read-only (see ovsdb-server(1)).
* DPDK:
- Support for DPDK v16.11.
- Support for rx checksum offload. Refer DPDK HOWTO for details.
- Port Hotplug is now supported.
- DPDK physical ports can now have arbitrary names. The PCI address of
the device must be set using the 'dpdk-devargs' option. Compatibility
with the old dpdk<portid> naming scheme is broken, and as such a
device will not be available for use until a valid dpdk-devargs is
specified.
- Virtual DPDK Poll Mode Driver (vdev PMD) support.
* For the complete list of changes, please see:
- http://openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-2.7.0
- Add patch to fix DPDK configuration migration for < 2.6 installations
* 0001-utilities-Add-script-to-support-DPDK-option-migratio.patch
- Rework spec file
* Enable DPDK by default and drop openvswitch-dpdk* packages. DPDK is only
enabled on supported architectures though.
- Remove openvswitch-dpdk.changes
- Remove openvswitch-dpdk.spec
- Remove pre_checkin.sh
* Merge openvswitch and openvswitch-switch into a single package since there
was no compelling reason to keep the switch functionality in a separate
subpackage.
* Split OVN package to ovn-common, ovn-central, ovn-docker, ovn-host and
ovn-controller similar to the Debian and RedHat packages.
* Fri Nov 25 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Relax the DPDK dependency a bit so we can support stable and
possibly new minor releases as well.
* Mon Nov 21 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Do not restart the openvswitch service after a package update.
Restarting the systemd service may break connectivity so let the
user decide when it is the best time for such an action. (bsc#1002734)
* Thu Nov 03 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Version bump to 2.6.1. Some of the changes are:
* ovn: Do not reply to ARP or ND NS for a VM's own IP address.
* ovs-ofctl: Tolerate differences in IPv6 formatting.
* netdev-linux: double tagged packets should use 0x88a8
* expr: Fix abort when simplifying "x != 0/0".
* dpif-netdev: Fix crash in dpif_netdev_execute().
* ovn-controller: Container can have connection to a hosting VM.
* stream-ssl: Fix memory leak on error path.
* Other bug fixes.
* Mon Oct 03 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Version bump to 2.6.0. Some of the changes are:
* First supported release of OVN. See ovn-architecture(7) for more
details.
* ovsdb-server:
- New "monitor_cond" "monitor_cond_update" and "update2" extensions to
RFC 7047.
* OpenFlow:
- OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles now expire after 10 seconds since the
last time the bundle was either opened, modified, or closed.
- OpenFlow 1.3 Extension 230, adding OpenFlow Bundles support, is
now implemented.
- OpenFlow 1.3+ bundles are now supported for group mods as well as
flow mods and port mods. Both 'atomic' and 'ordered' bundle
flags are supported for group mods as well as flow mods.
- Internal OpenFlow rule representation for load and set-field
actions is now much more memory efficient. For a complex flow
table this can reduce rule memory consumption by 40%.
- Bundles are now much more memory efficient than in OVS 2.5.
Together with memory efficiency improvements in OpenFlow rule
representation, the peak OVS resident memory use during a
bundle commit for large complex set of flow mods can be only
25% of that in OVS 2.5 (4x lower).
- OpenFlow 1.1+ OFPT_QUEUE_GET_CONFIG_REQUEST now supports OFPP_ANY.
- OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_QUEUE_DESC is now supported.
- OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPT_TABLE_STATUS is now supported.
- New property-based packet-in message format NXT_PACKET_IN2 with support
for arbitrary user-provided data and for serializing flow table
traversal into a continuation for later resumption.
- New extension message NXT_SET_ASYNC_CONFIG2 to allow OpenFlow 1.4-like
control over asynchronous messages in earlier versions of OpenFlow.

* Wed Jun 29 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Remove the ?_with_dpdk macro usage since this is not being set
without explicitly passing --with/--without during an OBS build.
This reverts back to using the %{with dpdk} style which is set
automatically based on %bcond_with* macros (bsc#989335).
* Tue Jun 28 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Fix subpackage dependencies to not require the non-existent python
DPDK subpackages (bsc#986835). We do not provide DPDK versions of
the python bindings so nothing should depend on these subpackages.

* Fri May 27 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Add %check directive to run the openvswitch testsuite on demand.
The openvswitch contains hundreds of tests covering simple and
complex openvswitch configuration so it's beneficial to run them
during package builds. However, running the testsuite is not enabled
by default. Also add the following upstream patch:
* 0001-Remove-broken-pipe-warning-logs-from-ovsdb-server.lo.patch
* Thu May 26 2016 mchandras@suse.de
- Build a DPDK-enabled Open vSwitch (fate#319170)
* Apply the following changes to the openvswitch.spec file
- Add support for building with DPDK capabilities
- Add conflicts between the two packages.
- Add new 'open_virtual_switch-*' capabilities for openvswitch,
openvswitch-switch, openvswitch-test packages which can be used
by reverse dependencies to select between the two openvswitch
implementations.
* Add pre_checkin.sh to generate the openvswitch_dpdk.spec file
based on the openvswitch.spec one.
* Add upstream openvswitch-2.5.0-detect-dpdk-installation.patch
patch to detect and link against a DPDK installation.

* Drop obsolete log-check-module-loop.patch patch.
* Drop conditional code for older openSUSE releases. This also removes
all of the sysvinit files which were pulled in when the package was
originally developed.
* Drop support for building the GUI. The GUI code has been removed in
7868fbc6c97c2 ("ovsdbmonitor: Remove.") upstream commit and it does
not exist since v2.2.0 so drop the code in the spec file.
* Use the upstream systemd service files for the OVN components instead
of maintaining our own downstream.
* Drop the unofficial ipsec support. It hasn't been enabled in years.
* Drop support for building the upstream kernel module since it's being
shipped with the kernel package in latest releases. Restore the
%bcond_with kmp to make it easier to build the external kernel module
if needed.
* Fix some suse-missing-rclink rpmlint warnings for the ovn subpackage
* Base our service unit to the upstream one.
* Stop silently enabling the GRE protocol in iptables by default.
* Install the upstream sysconfig file to pass more information to the
openvswitch service unit.

package.
* Fri Mar 04 2016 kmroz@suse.com
- Add support for building both 2.4.0 and 2.5.0 from the same spec
file. Needed to fix SLE11 builds as OVS-2.5.0 no longer supports
python < 2.7. SLE11 SP3 and SP4 use python 2.6.
- Added: openvswitch-2.4.0.tar.gz
* Thu Mar 03 2016 kmroz@suse.com
- New upstream version 2.5.0 (LTS)
- Dropped support for Python older than version 2.7. As a consequence,
using Open vSwitch 2.5 or later on XenServer 6.5 or earlier (which
have Python 2.4) requires first installing Python 2.7.
- OpenFlow:
* Group chaining (where one OpenFlow group triggers another) is
now supported.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ "importance" is now considered for flow eviction.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_EVICTION is now implemented.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPTC_VACANCY_EVENTS is now implemented.
* OpenFlow 1.4+ OFPMP_TABLE_DESC is now implemented.
* Allow modifying the ICMPv4/ICMPv6 type and code fields.

* Geneve tunnels can now match and set options and the OAM bit.
* The nonstandard GRE64 tunnel extension has been dropped.
- Support Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv1 and MLDv2).
- Add 'symmetric_l3l4' and 'symmetric_l3l4+udp' hash functions.
- sFlow agent now reports tunnel and MPLS structures.
- New 'check-system-userspace', 'check-kmod' and 'check-kernel' Makefile
targets to run a new system testsuite. These tests can be run inside
a Vagrant box. See INSTALL.md for details
- Mark --syslog-target argument as deprecated. It will be removed in
the next OVS release.
- Added --user option to all daemons
- Add support for connection tracking through the new "ct" action
and "ct_state"/"ct_zone"/"ct_mark"/"ct_label" match fields. Only
available on Linux kernels with the connection tracking module loaded.
- Add experimental version of OVN. OVN, the Open Virtual Network, is a
system to support virtual network abstraction. OVN complements the
existing capabilities of OVS to add native support for virtual network
abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups.
- RHEL packaging:
* DPDK ports may now be created via network scripts (see README.RHEL).
- DPDK:
* Requires DPDK 2.2
* Added multiqueue support to vhost-user
* Note: QEMU 2.5+ required for multiqueue support
- SELinux:
* Introduced SELinux policy package.
- New package: openvswitch-ovn
- Removed: openvswitch-2.4.0.tar.gg

bsc#968205 (openSUSE), bsc#951314 (SLE).
* Wed Feb 24 2016 kmroz@suse.com
- Don't install INSTALL.* files.
* Wed Feb 24 2016 kmroz@suse.com
- Removed: openvswitch-switch.template
* Wed Feb 24 2016 kmroz@suse.com
- New upstream version 2.4.0
- 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.
- ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
it in OpenSSL.
- ovsdb-server: New OVSDB protocol extension allows inequality tests on
"optional scalar" columns. See ovsdb-server(1) for details.
- ovs-vsctl now permits immutable columns in a new row to be modified in
the same transaction that creates the row.
- test-controller has been renamed ovs-testcontroller at request of users
who find it useful for testing basic OpenFlow setups. It is still not
a necessary or desirable part of most Open vSwitch deployments.
- Support for travis-ci.org based continuous integration builds has been
added. Build failures are reported to build@openvswitch.org. See INSTALL.md
file for additional details.
- Support for the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D-2004).
The implementation has been tested successfully against the Ixia Automated
Network Validation Library (ANVL).
- Stats are no longer updated on fake bond interface.
- Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
- A simple wrapper script, 'ovs-docker', to integrate OVS with Docker
containers. If and when there is a native integration of Open vSwitch
with Docker, the wrapper script will be retired.
- Added support for DPDK Tunneling. VXLAN, GRE, and Geneve are supported
protocols. This is generic tunneling mechanism for userspace datapath.
- Support for multicast snooping (IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3)
- Support for Linux kernels up to 4.0.x
- The documentation now use the term 'destination' to mean one of syslog,
console or file for vlog logging instead of the previously used term
'facility'.
- Support for VXLAN Group Policy extension
- Initial support for the IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard. This
contains rudimentary support for the LLDP protocol as needed for
Auto-Attach.
- The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports are now the IANA-assigned
numbers. OpenFlow is 6653 and OVSDB is 6640.
- Support for DPDK vHost.
- Support for outer UDP checksums in Geneve and VXLAN.
- The kernel vports with dependencies are no longer part of the overall
openvswitch.ko but built and loaded automatically as individual kernel
modules (vport-*.ko).
- Support for STT tunneling.
- Support to configure method (--syslog-method argument) that determines
how daemons will talk with syslog.
- Support for "ovs-appctl vlog/list-pattern" command that lets to query
logging message format for each destination.
- GRE64 and ipsec_gre64 tunnel protocol is deprecated and will be removed
from OVS v2.5 release.
* The openvswitch-testcontroller package is new. It reintroduces the
simple OpenFlow controller that was packaged with Open vSwitch prior to
version 2.1, at request of users who find it useful for testing basic
OpenFlow setups. It is still not a necessary or desirable part of most
Open vSwitch deployments.
- Fixed: log-check-module-loop.patch to work with new version.
- Removed: openvswitch-2.3.1.tar.gz
- Added: openvswitch-2.4.0.tar.gz
- Spec file work and cleanup.
* Sun Jan 10 2016 antoine.belvire@laposte.net
- Add calls to /sbin/ldconfig in %post and %postun
- Fix typo in Url
* Sun Dec 28 2014 andrea@opensuse.org
- new upstream version 2.3.1
- Compatibility with autoconf 2.63 (previously >=2.64)
- ovs-pki: Changed message digest algorithm from MD5 to SHA-1 because
MD5 is no longer secure and some operating systems have started to disable
it in OpenSSL.
- Keep active bond slave selection across OVS restart.
* v2.3.0 - 14 Aug 2014
- OpenFlow 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are now enabled by default in
ovs-vswitchd.
- Linux kernel datapath now has an exact match cache optimizing the
flow matching process.
- Datapath flows now have partially wildcarded tranport port field
matches. This reduces userspace upcalls, but increases the
number of different masks in the datapath. The kernel datapath
exact match cache removes the overhead of matching the incoming
packets with the larger number of masks, but when paired with an
older kernel module, some workloads may perform worse with the
new userspace.
* v2.2.0 - Internal Release
- Internal ports are no longer brought up by default, because it
should be an administrator task to bring up devices as they are
configured properly.
- ovs-vsctl now reports when ovs-vswitchd fails to create a new port or
bridge.
- The "ovsdbmonitor" graphical tool has been removed, because it was
poorly maintained and not widely used.
- New "check-ryu" Makefile target for running Ryu tests for OpenFlow
controllers against Open vSwitch. See INSTALL for details.
- Added IPFIX support for SCTP flows and templates for ICMPv4/v6 flows.
- Upon the receipt of a SIGHUP signal, ovs-vswitchd no longer reopens its
log file (it will terminate instead). Please use 'ovs-appctl vlog/reopen'
instead.
- Support for Linux kernels up to 3.14. From Kernel 3.12 onwards OVS uses
tunnel API for GRE and VXLAN.
- Added experimental DPDK support.
- Added support for custom vlog patterns in Python
- removed datapath-Add-support-for-Linux-3.12.patch no more required
- removed sle11-device-ops-backport.diff , not used before
* Tue Oct 21 2014 dmueller@suse.com

This contains bug fixes related to sending packet-in messages to the controller.
* Tue Apr 29 2014 e.istomin@edss.ee
- updated to 2.1.1. This release removes the "ovsdbmonitor" program and contains bug fixes.
* Wed Apr 02 2014 kmroz@suse.com
- Prevent ovsdb-server from entering an infinite loop when
processing logging levels during bringup.
added: log-check-module-loop.patch
* Thu Mar 27 2014 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 2.1.0:
- Address prefix tracking support for flow tables. New columns
"prefixes" in OVS-DB table "Flow_Table" controls which packet
header fields are used for address prefix tracking. Prefix
tracking allows the classifier to skip rules with longer than
necessary prefixes, resulting in better wildcarding for datapath
flows. Default configuration is to not use any fields for prefix
tracking. However, if any flow tables contain both exact matches
and masked matches for IP address fields, OVS performance may be
increased by using this feature.
* As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled
are: 'tun_id', 'tun_src', 'tun_dst', 'nw_src', 'nw_dst' (or
aliases 'ip_src' and 'ip_dst'), 'ipv6_src', and 'ipv6_dst'.
(Using this feature for 'tun_id' would only make sense if the
tunnel IDs have prefix structure similar to IP addresses.)
* There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any
one flow table. Currently this limit is 3.
* Examples:
$ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:0=@N1 -- \
- -id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table0
$ ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:1=@N1 -- \
- -id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table1
$ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table0 prefixes=ip_dst,ip_src
$ ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table1 prefixes=[]
- TCP flags matching: OVS now supports matching of TCP flags. This
has an adverse performance impact when using OVS userspace 1.10
or older (no megaflows support) together with the new OVS kernel
module. It is recommended that the kernel and userspace modules
both are upgraded at the same time.
- The default OpenFlow and OVSDB ports will change to
IANA-assigned numbers in a future release. Consider updating
your installations to specify port numbers instead of using the
defaults.
- OpenFlow:
* The OpenFlow 1.1+ "Write-Actions" instruction is now supported.
* OVS limits the OpenFlow port numbers it assigns to port 32767 and
below, leaving port numbers above that range free for assignment
by the controller.
* ovs-vswitchd now honors changes to the "ofport_request" column
in the Interface table by changing the port's OpenFlow port
number.
- ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 man page will contain graphviz/dot
diagram only if graphviz package was installed at the build time.
- Support for Linux kernels up to 3.11
- ovs-dpctl:
The "show" command also displays mega flow mask stats.
- ovs-ofctl:
* New command "ofp-parse-pcap" to dump OpenFlow from PCAP files.
- ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer
packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed
incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part
of an Open vSwitch deployment.
- Added vlog option to export to a UDP syslog sink.
- ovsdb-client:
* The "monitor" command can now monitor all tables in a database,
instead of being limited to a single table.
- The flow-eviction-threshold has been replaced by the flow-limit which is a
hard limit on the number of flows in the datapath. It defaults to 200,000
flows. OVS automatically adjusts this number depending on network
conditions.

* Thu Dec 05 2013 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 2.0.0:
- The ovs-vswitchd process is no longer single-threaded. Multiple
threads are now used to handle flow set up and asynchronous
logging.
- OpenFlow:
* Experimental support for OpenFlow 1.1 (in addition to 1.2 and
1.3, which had experimental support in 1.10).
* New support for matching outer source and destination IP address
of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly
added "remote_ip=flow" and "local_ip=flow" options.
* Support for matching on metadata 'pkt_mark' for interacting with
other system components. On Linux this corresponds to the skb
mark.
* Support matching, rewriting SCTP ports
- The Interface table in the database has a new "ifindex" column to
report the interface's OS-assigned ifindex.
- New "check-oftest" Makefile target for running OFTest against Open
vSwitch. See README-OFTest for details.
- The flow eviction threshold has been moved to the Open_vSwitch table.
- Database names are now mandatory when specifying ovsdb-server options
through database paths (e.g. Private key option with the database name
should look like "--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key").
- Added ovs-dev.py, a utility script helpful for Open vSwitch developers.
- Support for Linux kernels up to 3.10
- ovs-ofctl:
* New "ofp-parse" for printing OpenFlow messages read from a file.
- Added configurable flow caching support to IPFIX exporter.
- Dropped support for Linux pre-2.6.32.
