The vast majority of Kubernetes users today are running IPv4-only clusters or transitioning to dual stack deployments as an interim step on the journey towards IPv6-only clusters. The latter are not only an enabler for more IPAM flexibility and larger cluster scale, but also unlock new Linux kernel innovations in networking and eBPF to cater for data intensive workloads. In this talk, we examine what's possible once we arrive at IPv6-only clusters. We present recent advancements in Cilium's networking data plane enabling a low-latency architecture suitable for "BIG TCP"-based workloads requiring IPv6 for 100Gbit/s transfers and beyond for a single socket. In addition, we deep dive our path into achieving host networking performance characteristics for Pods through a new veth driver replacement we specifically developed for the kernel in context of Cilium. With the resulting eBPF forwarding architecture, most unneeded parts of the stack are bypassed, drastically improving networking.
