Thank you guys,
it would be nice to have capability bit for bundles, I think it's defined in 1.4.1 and later.
Anyway, I have another question. Is there any coverage map of OpenFlow spec (versions 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 ...) implementation in OVS.
It's not so easy to create bigger picture from release notes http://openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-2.6.0.

The capabilities bit OFPC_BUNDLES is an OpenFlow 1.5 feature we have not yet implemented. Same goes for the OF 1.5 bundles capabilities request and bundle properties. I’ll add the OFPC_BUNDLES today, but I feel the rest is not yet important.
