This release adds support for ``direct`` and ``virtio-forwarder`` VNIC
types to the ``vrouter`` VIF type. In order to use these VNIC types,
support is required from the version of OpenContrail, Contrail or Tungsten
Fabric that is installed, as well the required hardware. At this time, the
reference os-vif plugin is hosted on OpenContrail at
https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-nova-vif-driver but is expected to
transition to Tungsten Fabric in the future. Version 5.1 or later of the
plugin is required to use these new VNIC types. Consult the `Tungsten
Fabric documentation <https://tungstenfabric.github.io/website/>`_ for
release notes, when available, about hardware support. For commercial
support, consult the release notes from a downstream vendor.
