Release Notes ============= ## Features - [Integrated July 2016 DPDK release](http://www.dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_16_07.html) - DPDK-vhost is depreciated pending a complete rework of the original integration and addressing of rx performance deltas. - Patches required for DPDK 16.07: - Correctly setting the Packet Type in the IGB, IXGBE and i40e drivers. - Correctly setting checksum in the i40e driver. - NXP DPAA2 PMD Driver. - rte_delay (yield) functionality. - Add “in tree” plugins: - IPv6 ILA. - iOAM. - Load Balancer. - SIXRD. - SNAT. - VCGN. - High-performance (line-rate) “neutron like” L4 port-filtering. - API refactoring - addressing some of the issues around JVPP bindings. - Accommodating plugins [(e.g. NSH_SFC)](https://wiki.fd.io/view/NSH_SFC) - Binding for [python](https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Python_API) - LISP - L2 LISP overlays - Multitenancy - Multihoming - RTR mode - Map-resolver failover algorithm - Support 64-bit vector lengths, huge shared-memory segments. - Dynamic IP Feature ordering - IP Features can now specify features they appear before and after - 16.09 Builds - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Trusty Tahr - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Xenial Xerus - CentOS 7 - More information on [VPP wiki](https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/Installing_VPP_binaries_from_packages) - Performance, characterize and document performance for this release [(more information on CSIT page)](https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT) - IPv4 and IPv6 Scale - performance tests. - Bidirectional 10k/100k/1M flows. - 64B,570B, 1518B,9000B packet sizes. - IPv6 iACL - performance - DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 routing, two static IPv6 /64 routes and IPv6 iAcl security whitelist ingress /64 filter entries applied on links. - TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv6 header and generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces. - L2XC VXLANoIPv4 - performance - DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-connect. VXLAN tunnels are configured between L2XCs on DUT1 and DUT2. - TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces. - Documentation - Autogenerated CLI documentation. - Using doxygen to automate API/Node documentation. - [(available online)](https://docs.fd.io/vpp/16.09/) - Resolved all static analysis issues found by Coverity - Beginning of 16.09 cycle: 505 issues. - Release: 0 outstanding issues. ## Known issues Issues in fd.io are tracked in [JIRA](https://jira.fd.io) Issue | Description --- | --- VPP-391 | vpp debug version assert appeared in the process of start VPP-380 | Mapping algorithm compute wrong ea-bits when IPv4 prefix 0.0.0.0/0 VPP-371 | load_one_plugin:63: Loaded plugin: message from vppctl VPP-367 | vpp packages need to depend on specific versions of each other VPP-312 | IP6 FIB gets in indeterminate state by duplicating commands VPP-224 | Lookup-in-vrf can not be set correctly VPP-206 | Fix classify table delete VPP-203 | Fix binary API for reading vpp node graph VPP-147 | Inconsistent behaviour when adding L2 FIB filter entry VPP-99 | VPP doesn't discard DHCPOFFER message with wrong XID ## Issues fixed Issues in fd.io are tracked in [JIRA](https://jira.fd.io) Issue | Description --- | --- VPP-396 | Ubuntu systems Graphviz bug VPP-390 | vpp-lib rpm fails to include *.so symlinks, causing linking problems with out of tree builds VPP-388 | IPSec output feature assumes packets have been ethernet rewritten VPP-385 | ARP for indirect adjacencies not working correctly VPP-361 | Memory leak on delete of VXLAN over IPv6 tunnel VPP-357 | VNI not set correctly when removing LISP fwd entries VPP-349 | sw_interface_vhost_user_dump not working VPP-345 | net/enic: bad L4 checksum ptype set on ICMP packets VPP-340 | MAP-T wrong destination address VPP-330 | Use fifo to store LISP pending map-requests VPP-326 | map_add_domain VAT command: unable to configure domain with mtu parameter VPP-318 | The map_add_domain VAT command accepts invalid arguments VPP-315 | Fix "show vxlan-gpe" issue VPP-310 | Mapping algorithm compute wrong ea-bits VPP-239 | LISP IP forwarding does not tag packets that hit negative mapping entries VPP-235 | Invalid help in VAT for sw_interface_set_l2_bridge VPP-228 | Mapping algorithm sends packet to wrong IPv6 address VPP-214 | vpp-api-test: api_ipsec_sad_add_del_entry: vector "ck" not initialized VPP-200 | VPP - TAP port create problem VPP-189 | Coverity Issues for 16.09 VPP-184 | u16 translating to char ,not short VPP-179 | Adjacency share-count botch VPP-163 | "show ip6 interface" ignores non-global addresses VPP-155 | Netmap: Inconsistency in interface state between "show hardware" and "show interface" VPP-145 | Dynamically compute IP feature ordering based on constraints VPP-137 | VPP sends ARP with wrong requested IP VPP-118 | JVpp: 0 length arrays not handled properly in VPP responses VPP-112 | linux kernel info missing from build log VPP-110 | vxlan encap node should never touch a deleted tunnel VPP-107 | RPM build broken in master VPP-92 | segment routing is not properly filling out the segment list VPP-91 | segment routing add/del tunnel lookup doesn't work VPP-84 | af_packet throws a fatal error on EAGAIN VPP-74 | Clang compile fails due to warning in vlib/unix/cli.c VPP-64 | Top level "make pkg-deb" fails if CDPATH is set in user env.
