-### New features in 2.1.0+
+### New features in this release

-Mininet 2.1.0+ provides a number of bug fixes as well as
-several new features, including:
+This is primarily a performance improvement and bug fix release.

-* Convenient access to `Mininet()` as a dict of nodes
-* X11 tunneling (wireshark in Mininet hosts, finally!)
-* Accurate reflection of the `Mininet()` object in the CLI
-* Automatically detecting and adjusting resource limits
-* Automatic cleanup on failure of the `mn` command
-* Preliminary support for running OVS in user space mode
-* Preliminary support (`IVSSwitch()`) for the Indigo Virtual Switch
-* support for installing the OpenFlow 1.3 versions of the reference
-  user switch and NOX from CPqD
-* The ability to import modules from `mininet.examples`
+- Batch startup has been implemented for Open vSwitch, improving
+  startup performance.

-We have provided several new examples (which can easily be
-imported to provide useful functionality) including:
+- OVS patch links have been implemented via OVSLink and --link ovs

-* Modeling separate control and data networks: `mininet.examples.controlnet`
-* Connecting Mininet hosts the internet (or a LAN) using NAT: `mininet.examples.nat`
-* Creating per-host custom directories using bind mounts: `mininet.examples.bind`
+  Warning! These links have *serious limitations* compared to
+  virtual Ethernet pairs: they are not attached to real Linux
+  interfaces so you cannot use tcpdump or wireshark with them;
+  they also cannot be used in long chains - we don't recommend more
+  than 64 OVSLinks, for example --linear,64. However, they can offer
+  significantly better performance than veth pairs, for certain
+  configurations.

-Note that examples contain experimental features which might
-"graduate" into mainline Mininet in the future, but they should 
-not be considered a stable part of the Mininet API!
+- You can now easily install Mininet on a Raspberry Pi ;-)
+
+- Additional information for this release and previous releases
+  may be found in the release notes on docs.mininet.org

 linuxrouter.py: Example network with Linux IP router

 This example converts a Node into a router using IP forwarding
 already built into Linux.

-The topology contains a router with three IP subnets:
- - 192.168.1.0/24 (interface IP: 192.168.1.1)
- - 172.16.0.0/12 (interface IP: 172.16.0.1)
- - 10.0.0.0/8 (interface IP: 10.0.0.1)
+The example topology creates a router and three IP subnets:

- It also contains three hosts, one in each subnet:
- - h1 (IP: 192.168.1.100)
- - h2 (IP: 172.16.0.100)
- - h3 (IP: 10.0.0.100)
+    - 192.168.1.0/24 (r0-eth1, IP: 192.168.1.1)
+    - 172.16.0.0/12 (r0-eth2, IP: 172.16.0.1)
+    - 10.0.0.0/8 (r0-eth3, IP: 10.0.0.1)

- Routing entries can be added to the routing tables of the 
- hosts or router using the "ip route add" or "route add" command.
- See the man pages for more details.
+Each subnet consists of a single host connected to
+a single switch:

+    r0-eth1 - s1-eth1 - h1-eth0 (IP: 192.168.1.100)
+    r0-eth2 - s2-eth1 - h2-eth0 (IP: 172.16.0.100)
+    r0-eth3 - s3-eth1 - h3-eth0 (IP: 10.0.0.100)
+
+The example relies on default routing entries that are
+automatically created for each router interface, as well
+as 'defaultRoute' parameters for the host interfaces.
+
+Additional routes may be added to the router or hosts by
+executing 'ip route' or 'route' commands on the router or hosts.
