+* **Changed mempool allocation behaviour.**
+
+  Objects are no longer across pages by default.
+  It may consume more memory when using small memory pages.

+  RIB and FIB can replace the LPM (Longest Prefix Match) library

    =========================================================
 
+* net: The Ethernet address and other header definitions have changed
+  attributes. They have been modified to be aligned on 2-byte boundaries.
+  These changes should not impact normal usage because drivers naturally
+  align the Ethernet header on receive and all known encapsulations
