+Features for Release VPP 18.07
+###############################
+
+This section lists those features that became available in VPP Release 18.07:
+
+Infrastructure
++++++++++++++++
+
+* DPDK 18.02.1
+
+ - Complete rework of the dpdk-input node
+ - Display rx/tx burst function name in "show hardware detail"
+ - Improve buffer alloc perfomance
+ + This is ~50% improvement in buffer alloc performance. For a 256 buffer allocation, it was ~10 clocks/buffer, now is < 5 clocks.
+ - Add per-numa page allocation info to 'show memory'
+ - Vectorized bihash_{48,40,24,16}_8 key compare
+ + bihash_48_8 case:
+ * Scalar code: 6 clocks
+ * SSE4.2 code: 3 clocks
+ * AVX2 code: 2.27 clocks
+ * AVX512 code: 1.5 clocks
+ - Pollable Stats
+ + Stats are now available to a client in a shared memory segment and in the form of a directory, allowing very high performance polling of stats without directly querying VPP.
+
+VNET & Plugins
++++++++++++++++
+
+* IGMP improvements
+ - Enable/Disable an interface for IGMP
+ - improve logging
+ - refactor common code
+ - no orphaned timers
+ - IGMP state changes in main thread only
+ - Large groups split over multiple state-change reports
+ - SSM range configuration API.
+ - more tests
+* IP: vectorized IP checksum
+* VXLAN : HW offload RX flow
+* Rework kube-proxy into LB plugin and add NATA66
+* NAT:
+ - Code refactor
+ - Syslog
+ - Multiple outside interfaces
+ - Endpoint dependent filtering and mapping
+* ACL:
+ - Tuple Merge algorithm cleanup and integration
+ - Processing pipeline optimizations
+ - Refactoring
+* Experimental AVF driver
+
+
+Host stack
++++++++++++
+
+* Session: performance improvements, add support for connectionless transports, datagram reception and transmission
+* TCP: congestion control improvements and overall fixes
+* UDP: datagram mode
+* TLS async support
