Enhancement Description

  • One-line enhancement description (can be used as a release note):

Remove knowledge of pod cluster CIDR from iptables rules

  • Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal:
The iptables implementation of kube-proxy today references the cluster CIDR for pods in three places for the following reasons.

   1. [Masquerade off cluster traffic to services by node IP](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/v1.17.0/pkg/proxy/iptables/proxier.go#L965-L970)
   2. [Redirecting pods traffic to external loadbalancer VIP to cluster IP](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/v1.17.0/pkg/proxy/iptables/proxier.go#L1327-L1339)
   3. [Accepting traffic after first packet, after being accepted by kubernetes rules](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/v1.17.0/pkg/proxy/iptables/proxier.go#L1468-L1490)

In addition, the ipvs implementation also references it in two places for similar purposes

   1. [Masquerade off cluster traffic to services by node IP](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/proxy/ipvs/proxier.go#L1649-L1654)
   2. [Accepting traffic after first packet, after being accepted by kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/proxy/ipvs/proxier.go#L1726-L1745)

This enhancement proposes ways to achieve similar goals without tracking the pod cluster CIDR to do so.

It looks like KEP from this issue is being linked to deprecating use of the podCIDR field in the Node resource: kubernetes/kubernetes#57130

Have I got that right?

This removes kube-proxy dependency, that is one step towards deprecating it, however, it seems the field is "happily" used by CNI and other projects in the ecosystem

Maybe the field deprecation should have its own KEP?
