Configure Networking

📄️ Configure BGP peeringConfigure BGP peering with full mesh, node-specific peering, ToR, and/or Calico route reflectors.

📄️ Overlay networkingConfigure Calico to use IP in IP or VXLAN overlay networking so the underlying network doesn’t need to understand pod addresses.

📄️ Advertise Kubernetes service IP addressesConfigure Calico to advertise Kubernetes service cluster IPs and external IPs outside the cluster using BGP.

📄️ Configure MTU to maximize network performanceOptimize network performance for workloads by configuring the MTU in Calico to best suit your underlying network.

📄️ Configure outgoing NATConfigure networking to perform outbound NAT for connections from pods to outside of the cluster.

📄️ Use IPVS kube-proxyUse IPVS kube-proxy for performance improvements.

📄️ Accelerate Istio network performanceUse Calico to accelerate network performance of traffic through the Istio Envoy sidecar using eBPF.

📄️ Use a specific MAC address for a podSpecify the MAC address for a pod instead of allowing the operating system to assign one
