features:

New Load Balancing algorithm SOURCE_IP_PORT has been added.
It is supported only by OVN provider driver.
upgrade:
- |
All pools configured under OVN provider driver are
automatically migrated to SOURCE_IP_PORT algorithm.
Previously algorithm was named as ROUND_ROBIN, but in
fact it was not working like ROUND_ROBIN. After
investigating, it was observed that core OVN actually
utilizes a 5 Tuple Hash/RSS Hash in DPDK/Kernel as a Load
Balancing algorithm. The 5 Tuple Hash has Source IP, Destination
IP, Protocol, Source Port, Destination Port.
To reflect this the name was changed to SOURCE_IP_PORT.
