+
+## Features
+
+### Infrastructure
+- DPDK 18.02.1
+ - Complete rework of the dpdk-input node
+ - Display rx/tx burst function name in "show hardware detail"
+ - Improve buffer alloc perfomance
+ - This is ~50% improvement in buffer alloc performance. For a 256 buffer allocation, it was ~10 clocks/buffer, now is < 5 clocks.
+ - Add per-numa page allocation info to 'show memory'
+ - Vectorized bihash_{48,40,24,16}_8 key compare
+ - bihash_48_8 case:
+ - Scalar code: 6 clocks
+ - SSE4.2 code: 3 clocks
+ - AVX2 code: 2.27 clocks
+ - AVX512 code: 1.5 clocks
+ - Pollable Stats
+ - Stats are now available to a client in a shared memory segment and
+ in the form of a directory, allowing very high performance polling
+ of stats without directly querying VPP.
+
+### VNET & Plugins
+- IGMP improvements
+ - Enable/Disable an interface for IGMP
+ - improve logging
+ - refactor common code
+ - no orphaned timers
+ - IGMP state changes in main thread only
+ - Large groups split over multiple state-change reports
+ - SSM range configuration API.
+ - more tests
+- IP: vectorized IP checksum
+- VXLAN : HW offload RX flow
+- Rework kube-proxy into LB plugin and add NATA66
+- NAT:
+ - Code refactor
+ - Syslog
+ - Multiple outside interfaces
+ - Endpoint dependent filtering and mapping
+- ACL:
+ - Tuple Merge algorithm cleanup and integration
+ - Processing pipeline optimizations
+ - Refactoring
+- Experimental AVF driver
+
+### Host stack
+
+- Session: performance improvements, add support for connectionless transports, datagram reception and transmission
+- TCP: congestion control improvements and overall fixes
+- UDP: datagram mode
+- TLS async support
