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.
- SNAT.
- 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.
