- Version bump to 2.7.0 (fate#321541). Some of the changes are:
* Utilities and daemons that support SSL now allow protocols and
ciphers to be configured with --ssl-protocols and --ssl-ciphers.
* OVN:
- QoS is now implemented via egress shaping rather than ingress policing.
- DSCP marking is now supported, via the new northbound QoS table.
- IPAM now supports fixed MAC addresses.
- Support for source IP address based routing.
- ovn-trace:
* New --ovs option to also print OpenFlow flows.
* put_dhcp_opts and put_dhcp_optsv6 actions may now be traced.
- Support for managing SSL and remote connection configuration in
northbound and southbound databases.
* Fixed regression in table stats maintenance introduced in OVS
2.3.0, wherein the number of OpenFlow table hits and misses was
not accurate.
* OpenFlow:
- OFPT_PACKET_OUT messages are now supported in bundles.
- A new "selection_method=dp_hash" type for OpenFlow select group
bucket selection that uses the datapath computed 5-tuple hash
without making datapath flows match the 5-tuple fields, which
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.
- The "ct" action now supports the TFTP ALG where support is available.
- New actions "clone" and "ct_clear".
