deprecations:
    - The ``iptables`` firewall driver will no longer enable bridge firewalling
      in next versions of Neutron. If your distribution overrides the default
      value for any of relevant sysctl settings
      (``net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables``,
      ``net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables``, and
      ``net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables``) then make sure you set them back
      to upstream kernel default (``1``) using /etc/sysctl.conf or
      /etc/sysctl.d/* configuration files.
upgrades:
    - On newer Linux kernels (3.18+) you will need to load the ``br_netfilter``
      kernel module before starting an Open vSwitch or Linuxbridge agent using
      ``iptables`` firewall driver. Otherwise the agent will fail to start.
