+- vppinfra: autodetect default hugepage size
+- Move RPC traffic off the shared-memory API queue
+- IPv6: Make link-local configurable per-interface
+- IGMP: improve CLI debug output
+- IPSec: split ipsec nodes into ip4/ip6 nodes
+- IPSec: infra for selecting backends
+- vhost-user: cleanup and performance optimizations
+- ethernet-input, memif improvements and optimizations
+- DPDK: bump to DPDK 18.11
+- reassembly: harden reassembly code
