Release Notes Change History
| Revision | Feature/Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3.0.2 | RX Polling Control | Added support for a new parameter to control RX ring polling inside RX API calls - see XLIO_SKIP_POLL_IN_RX under Configuration Parameter Values. |
| XLIO Statistics | Added support for Listen socket statistic. | |
| Performance Improvement | Improved performance of SW GRO (generic-receive-offload). | |
| NVME over TCP (NVMEoTCP) Offload | [Alpha] Added support for hardware NVMEoTCP DIGEST calculation offload for TX path at alpha level. For further details, please refer to NVME over TCP DIGEST Offload Tx (Alpha Level) section. | |
| Bug Fixes | See Bug Fixes section. | |
| 2.1.4 | Multicast Routing | Added support for reading entries and receiving notifications on local routing tables. |
| Multipath Routing | Added support for multipath routing through a single hop. | |
| XLIO Statistics | Enabled dump of routing table through xlio_stats utility. | |
| Added listen socket statistic. | ||
| Performance Improvement | Improved Tx stability. | |
| Bug Fixes | See Bug Fixes section. | |
| 2.0.6 | User Space TLS (uTLS) Offload | Added support for uTLS v1.3 offload for Rx path. |
| SocketXtreme API | Removed support for SocketXtreme API. | |
| Packet Filtering | Removed support for Packet Filtering. | |
| Bug Fixes | See Bug Fixes section. | |
| 1.3.5 | Connection per Second (CPS) Improvements | Made CPS performance improvements for Hardware TLS offload. |
| NGINX Crash Recovery | Added the ability to continue forking new child processes in NGINX application even when a crash takes place. The number of new processes that can be created in a crash scenario is set using XLIO_NGINX_WORKERS_NUM. | |
| 1.2.9 | IPv6 support | [Beta] Added support for the latest Internet Protocol version IPv6. Note: Support for IPv6 at beta level involves some limitations that can be viewed under Known Issues. |
| TLS | Added support for TLS v1.2: 256 bits; TLS v1.3: 128 bits; and TLS v1.3: 256 bits. | |
| C++11 Standard Support | Product source code is migrated to C++11 standard requirements. | |
| 1.1.8 | Security | TLS data-path (Tx and Rx) offload allows the NIC to accelerate encryption, decryption, and authentication of AES-GCM (AES128-GCM, TLS v1.2). TLS offload handles data as it goes through the device without storing it, but only updating its context. This results in enhanced host CPU utilization and TLS throughput. |
NGINX with QUIC configuration support | Added QUIC transport protocol, explicitly designed to support multiplexed connections without depending on a single TCP connection. | |
| Performance Improvement | Added Hardware Large Receive Offload (HW LRO) support: Large receive offload (LRO) is a technique for increasing the inbound throughput of high-bandwidth network connections by aggregating multiple incoming TCP packets from a single stream into a larger buffer before they are passed higher up the networking stack. Increased Concurrent Connections maintaining high-wire speed: Supports vertical scaling, limited by available RAM. | |
| 1.0.6 | TX Flow: Zero Copy | Added support for zero-copy socket send flag MSG_ZEROCOPY with queueing completion notifications on the socket error queue. |
TCP Acceleration (kernel bypass) for NGINX | Added TCP acceleration for NGINX high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy adaptation. | |
uTLS – User Space TLS Offload | TLS hardware offload (Transport Layer Security) is a widely-deployed network protocol used for securing TCP connections on the Internet and accelerating TLS encryption. |
