* New OpenFlow extension NXM_NX_MPLS_TTL to provide access to MPLS TTL.
- * New "sampling_port" option for "sample" action to allow sampling
- ingress and egress tunnel metadata.
- ovs-ofctl:
* queue-get-config command now allows a queue ID to be specified.
* '--bundle' option can now be used with OpenFlow 1.3.
* New option "--color" to produce colorized output for some commands.

manage QoS for a given port (useful when other software manages QoS).
