-* ABI/API changes are planned for 17.11 in all structures which include port_id
-  definition such as "rte_eth_dev_data", "rte_port_ethdev_reader_params",
-  "rte_port_ethdev_writer_params", and so on. The definition of port_id will be
-  changed from 8 bits to 16 bits in order to support more than 256 ports in
-  DPDK. All APIs which have port_id parameter will be changed at the same time.
+* ethdev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and
+  ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_eth_dev_info`` and
+  ``rte_eth_dev`` respectively  to support security operations like
+  ipsec inline.

+* cryptodev: new parameters - ``rte_security_capabilities`` and
+  ``rte_security_ops`` will be added to ``rte_cryptodev_info`` and
+  ``rte_cryptodev`` respectively to support security protocol offloaded

+* cryptodev: the following function will be static in 17.11 and included
+  by all crypto drivers, therefore, will not be public:
 
-* ethdev: An ABI change is planned for 17.11 for the structure rte_eth_dev_data.
-  The size of the unique name will increase RTE_ETH_NAME_MAX_LEN from 32 to
-  64 characters to allow using a globally unique identifier (GUID) in this field.
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init``
+
+* librte_meter: The API will change to accommodate configuration profiles.
+  Most of the API functions will have an additional opaque parameter.
 
 * librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
   that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
   The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
   (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
   and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
