Feature Implementation: Expanded access control list matching capabilities on TCP flags using Python and C++ to help protect networks from TCP syn fragment DDos attacks. Wrote a command to configure these settings from the switch’s command line interface.
Bug Fixes: Fixed issues with internal testing tools crashing while sending TCP packets over IPv6. Closed a false positive test case in the routing tests. Removed checks on ingress interfaces when configuring egress support to avoid improper changes to topology properties.
Testing: Wrote several automated breadth and product tests to ensure features were working on all platforms and under all edge cases.
