Configure Networking

📄️ Configure BGP peering

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

📄️ Overlay networking

Configure 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 addresses

Configure Calico to advertise Kubernetes service cluster IPs and external IPs outside the cluster using BGP.

📄️ Configure MTU to maximize network performance

Optimize network performance for workloads by configuring the MTU in Calico to best suit your underlying network.

📄️ Configure outgoing NAT

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

📄️ Use IPVS kube-proxy

Use IPVS kube-proxy for performance improvements.

📄️ Accelerate Istio network performance

Use Calico to accelerate network performance of traffic through the Istio Envoy sidecar using eBPF.

📄️ Use a specific MAC address for a pod

Specify the MAC address for a pod instead of allowing the operating system to assign one
