-- Vanilla OVS support added.
-
- - Support for non-DPDK OVS build.
- - Build and installation support through Makefile will be added via
- next patch(Currently it is possible to manually build ovs and
- setting it in vsperf configuration files).

-- Install & Quickstart documentation
-
-- Better support for mixing tests types with Deployment Scenarios
-- Re-work based on community feedback of TOIT
-- Framework support for other vSwitches
-- Framework support for non-Ixia traffic generators
-- Framework support for different VNFs
-- Python3
-- Support for biDirectional functionality for ixnet interface
