#### Features and enhancements

* Exception packet handling - Enhance Linux Networking with multiple VNI
* Exception packet handling - Enhanced Linux Networking with multiple VNI
support, port to bridge association and VLAN traffic offload (Intel IPU E2100
target only)
* Packet IO feature support to facilitate the exchange of packets between
control plane applications and P4 dataplane (Intel IPU E2100 target only)
* Supports active-backup use case of LAG on IDPF interfaces done via bonding
driver (Intel IPU E2100 target only)
* Supports both indexed and direct meters in policer mode (Intel IPU E2100
target only)
target only).
* Link Aggregation Group (LAG) - Supports active-backup use case of LAG on IDPF
interfaces done via bonding driver. This LAG interface is used only for underlay
connectivity in Exception packet handling feature. (Intel IPU E2100 target only).
* Packet IO - Facilitates the exchange of packets between control plane
applications and P4 dataplane (Intel IPU E2100 target only).
* Indexed and direct meters in policer mode - Metering along with policer
allows the users to determine the amount of data used and then control the
usage. (Intel IPU E2100 target only).
* Security enhancements
* Upgrade from OpenSSL 1.1.1x to 3.x
* Library updates to address security issues
* Fixed in `gRPC` 1.59.2: CVE-2023-33953, CVE-2023-4785
* Upgraded gRPC to 1.59.2 to address CVE-2023-33953, CVE-2023-4785
* Upgraded `protobuf` to version 25.0
* Upgraded `abseil-cpp` to version 20230802.0
* Upgraded `zlib` to version 1.3

#### Limitations

* Exception packet handling feature limitations:
* VLAN configuration on OvS is supported only for NATIVE-TAG and NATIVE-UNTAG
modes.
* Physical port's port representor should be added as the 1st port in Tunnel
TEP bridge.
* Only OvS bridges are supported
* Configure p4rt-ctl runtime rules before OvS configuration.
* Double vlan tag is not supported.
* For VxLAN underlay connectivity, IPv6 Link Local as nexthop is not
supported.
* For non FRR usecase, add a route with remote TEP IPv4/IPv6 as nexthop.
* IPv4-in-IPv6 and IPv6-in-IPv4 is not supported.
* VXLAN destination port should always be standard port i.e. 4789 to satisfy
parser limitation.
* Any ofproto rules altering FDB learning on OVS are not supported.
* East-west traffic for fast path is not supported.
* Local IP for VxLAN configuration need to be provided.
* Link Aggregation Group(LAG) feature limitations:
* LAG configuration to be done via bonding driver
* LAG configuration mode supported from infrap4d is active-backup
* For active-backup at least 2 links should be part of one lag group
* ECMP and LAG functionality are mutually exclusive, they cannot co-exist
in the same .p4 profile
* Number of nexthop table entries cannot go beyond 8K because now we put
nexthop table in WCM table
* Tunnel non LAG packets, we need to add manually entries to tx_lag_table
with action as bypass
* Number of nexthop table entries cannot go beyond 8K because nexthop table
is of type WCM and hardware limits the no. of entries to 8K.
* To encap VxLAN outer header for non underlay LAG interfaces, we need to
manually add entries in tx_lag_table with action as bypass.
* Underlay LAG interface/members should not be associated with any OvS bridge
* Packet IO feature limitations:
* Supports maximum of 2 vports and each port supports maximum of 4 rx and t
* Supports maximum of 2 vports and each port supports maximum of 4 rx and tx
queues
* Policer Meters feature limitations:
* No command line interface is available for deleting meter configurations
* Direct meter configuration is not completely displayed in IMC logs
