  • ZC Library

    • New API pfring_zc_pkt_buff_pull / pfring_zc_pkt_buff_push to manage buffer head room
    • New builtin hash pfring_zc_builtin_gre_hash with support for GRE tunneling
      • zbalance_ipc -m 5 option for enabling GRE hashing
    • Support for up to 64 queues in pfring_zc_send_pkt_multi and pfring_zc_distribution_func
    • Fix for attaching to ZC IPC queues from containers

  • FT Library (New)

    • L7 flow classification and filtering library
    • Event-driven capture-agnostic API
    • Sample applications
      • ftflow: flow records generation with PF_RING capture
      • ftflow_pcap: flow records generation with PCAP capture
      • ftflow_dpdk: flow records generation with DPDK capture
      • fttest: performance benchmarking tool
      • zbalance_ipc extension to process flows and filter packets

  • nBroker (New)

    • Traffic steering and filtering on Intel RRC (FM10K adapters)
    • Daemon to drive the adapter (nbrokerd)
    • API to configure the adapter using a C library (nbrokerlib)
    • Command-line tool with auto-completion to configure the adapter using scripts (nbroker-cli)
    • Low-level library used by nbrokerd to drive the adapter (rrclib)

  • PF_RING-aware Libpcap

    • PCAP_PF_RING_USERSPACE_BPF env var to force userspace filtering instead of kernel filtering

  • PF_RING Kernel Module

    • Full support for namespaces and containers
    • Fixed skbuff forwarding with fast-tx using reflect_packet
    • Fixed VLAN support in BPF with kernel extensions
    • Fixed support for NetXtreme cards with multiple queues
    • Fixed sw hash filtering for IPv6
    • Fixed intel_82599_perfect_filter_hw_rule VLAN byte order
    • Fixed huge rings (high number of slots or huge slot size)
    • Fixed VLAN offset and packet hash in case of QinQ and VLAN offload
    • Support for Ubuntu 18
    • Support for latest Centos 7 kernel
    • Support for latest Debian 8 kernel

  • PF_RING Capture Modules

    • Released source code for FPGA capture modules including Endace, Exablaze, Inveatech, Mellanox, Netcope
    • Accolade lib updates
      • New flag PF_RING_FLOW_OFFLOAD_NOUP to enable flow offload without flow updates (standard raw packets are received, flow id is in the packet hash)
      • Automatically generate the rule ID using rule_id = FILTERING_RULE_AUTO_RULE_ID
      • Support for accolade 200Ku Flex adapters
    • Fiberblaze lib updates
      • Packet recv in chunk mode
    • Fixed extraction from npcap/timeline in case of empty PCAP files in the dump set
    • Endace DAG updates
      • Setting extended_hdr.pkt_hash from ERF FlowID or Packet Signature extension headers if available
      • Support for pfring_set_application_name
      • Support for pfring_dag_findalldevs
    • Napatech lib updates
      • Support for sdk v10

  • Drivers

    • e1000e zc driver update v.3.4.0.2
    • i40e zc driver update v.2.4.6
    • ixgbe zc driver update v.5.3.7
    • igb zc driver update v.5.3.5.18
    • Fixed interrupts handling on i40e when in zc mode, this fixes the case where packets are received in batches of 4/8 packets
    • Using nbrokerd for initializing FM10K adapters and configuring the RRC switch

  • nBPF

    • Fixed rules constraints

  • Misc

    • Reworked init.d systemd support
    • New pf_ringctl script to manage pf_ring and drivers (this is used by init.d/systemd)
    • Documentation improvements, Doxygen integration with "read the docs"
