features:
- This release adds support for Netronome's Agilio OVS VIF type. In order
to use the accelerated plugging modes, external Neutron and OS-VIF plugins
are required. Consult
https://github.com/Netronome/agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin for installation
and operation instructions.
Consult the Agilio documentation available at
https://support.netronome.com/ for more information about the plugin
compatibility and support matrix.
- The ``virtio-forwarder`` VNIC type has been added to the list of VNICs.
This VNIC type is intended to request a low-latency virtio port inside the
instance, likely backed by hardware acceleration. Currently the Agilio OVS
external Neutron and OS-VIF plugins provide support for this VNIC mode.
