Hi Ian

Do you have a good link to the 16.11.2 release notes ?
I have been looking around and found some links but may not be the best
and I am not sure new functionality is not being enabled with 16.11.2 ?

What specifically do we want from 16.11.2 ?

Thanks Darrell

    Hi All,
    
    I would like to see this go into the OVS 2.7.1 branch to ensure users are using the latest stable DPDK 16.11 release. If anyone has time to review this patch I would be grateful. I've been using 16.11.2 myself for the last number of weeks and have not encountered any issues.
    
    Thanks
    Ian
