Subject: [ovs-discuss] Open vSwitch 1.10.0 Available

The Open vSwitch team is pleased to announce the release of Open vSwitch 1.10.0:

   http://openvswitch.org/releases/openvswitch-1.10.0.tar.gz

This release contains new features, performance improvements, and a significant reworking of core components.  Feature highlights of 1.10.0 include:

   * Support for the VXLAN tunnel protocol.

   * Experimental support for newer versions of OpenFlow.

   * With the Linux datapath, packets for new flows are now queued
     separately on a per-port basis, so it should no longer be
     possible for a large number of new flows arriving on one port to
     prevent new flows from being processed on other ports.

   * Patch ports no longer require kernel support, so they now work
     with FreeBSD and the kernel module built into Linux 3.3 and later.

   * The maximum size of the MAC learning table is now configurable.

   * It is possible to request the OpenFlow port number with the
     "ofport_request" column in the Interface table.

   * And many others.  See the full change log here:

Enjoy!

--------------------
Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer open source virtual switch.  It is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces. Open vSwitch can operate both as a soft switch running within the hypervisor, and as the control stack for switching silicon. It has been ported to multiple virtualization platforms and switching chipsets.
