+DPDK Release 2.3
+================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+* **ethdev: define a set of advertised link speeds.**
+
+  Allowing to define a set of advertised speeds for auto-negociation,
+  explicitely disable link auto-negociation (single speed) and full
+  auto-negociation.
+
+* **ethdev: add speed_cap bitmap to recover eth device link speed capabilities
+  define a set of advertised link speeds.**
+
+  ``struct rte_eth_dev_info`` has now speed_cap bitmap, which allows the
+  application to recover the supported speeds for that ethernet device.
+
+
+Resolved Issues
+---------------
+
+* **ethdev: Fixed link_speed overflow in rte_eth_link for 100Gbps.**
+
+  100Gbps in Mbps (100000) exceeds 16 bit max value of ``link_speed`` in
+  ``rte_eth_link``.
