Changes in v1.4.0

  • Actions

    • Fix invalid action_profile_id in the One Shot Action Selector Programming
      example.
    • Specify that max_group_size must be less than or equal to size for
      Action Selectors.
    • Add a selector_size_semantics field to the ActionProfile message
      in P4Info.

  • Controller Sessions, Roles, Arbitration:

    • Clarify controller session establishment, maintenance, role and arbitration
    • Simplify specification for arbitration updates for which there is no change
      to the controller's election_id; in particular, a "no-op" arbitration
      update from a primary controller (the controller already was, and remains,
      the primary controller) is essentially treated the same way as an
      arbitration update which leads to the election of a new primary controller.
    • Add support for string role identifiers and deprecate integer role
      identifiers.
    • Add support for specifying a role in ReadRequest messages: if present,
      only entities belonging to this specific role are returned.
    • Clarify that the (device_id, role, election_id) 3-tuples are only
      unique for live controllers.

  • Generated code

    • Enable C++ Arena Allocation [@ArenaAllocation] by default in
      p4runtime.proto.
    • Added Rust code generation

  • Meters

    • Add a Type field to the MeterSpec message allowing users to restrict
      the type of meters that can be used for a table and a new eburst field to
      the MeterConfig message for use with one of the new MeterSpec types.
      See section on Meter & DirectMeter.
    • Defined new meter annotations @two_rate_three_color,
      @single_rate_two_color, @single_rate_three_color
    • Enable P4Runtime servers to provide per-color counter values when direct or
      indirect meter entries are read.

  • Miscellaneous

    • Add a PlatformProperties message specifying desired underlying platform
      properties to the PkgInfo message.
    • Specify Read behavior in the absence of a P4Info
      (ForwardingPipelineConfig not set yet).
    • Clarify that for updates of type INSERT, error codes other than
      INVALID_ARGUMENT can be returned when applicable.
    • Clarified the meaning of set and unset scalar and message fields, see
      section on default-valued fields.
    • Described Dataplane Volatile Objects, see section on
      Dataplane Volatile Objects.
    • Clarified use of bytestrings in messages, see section on
      Bytestrings

  • Replication

    • Add a metadata field to the MulticastGroupEntry message.
    • In message Replica, replaced primitive field uint32 egress_port
      in a compatible manner with new oneof port_kind containing preferred
      new field bytes port.

  • Tables

    • Clarify that the limitation on supported types for FieldMatch, action
      Param, and Packet IO metadata fields (no support for signed integers,
      with type int<W>) apply to all minor revisions of P4Runtime v1, not just
      to P4Runtime v1.0.
    • Add has_initial_entries and is_const field fields to Table message to
      distinguish mutable and immutable initial table entries,
      see section on Constant Tables.
