Major Features

New functionality added in Boron includes:

  • Operational Config: Moved SB mapping to operational datastore instead of config.

  • Clustering: Enabled basic clustering (experimental)

Boron also includes optimizations resulting in significantly improved performance.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • Particular known bugs and workarounds.

    • Automatic removal of timed out entries may leave behind some meta data. Workaround is to remove those manually via RESTCONF API

    • Clustering is still an experimental feature and may have some issues particularly related to operational datastore consistency.

  • Testing methodology:

    • All modules have been unit tested. Integration tests have been performed for all major features. System tests have been performed on most major features.

      • Merging of locators and NB-SB integration of mappings are new features that have received the least amount of testing.

      • Registering and retrieval of basic mappings have been tested more thoroughly. More complicated mapping policies have gone through less testing.

Migration from Previous Releases

No major steps required for migration from Beryllium. Data stored in the MD-SAL must be manually moved to the new installation of Boron. If MD-SAL provides migration process for moving data automatically, lispflowmapping will read data from the datastore upon starting the karaf feature. For migration of data in MD-SAL please see MD-SAL release notes.
