Enhancement Proposals¶
OVN-Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals (OKEPs) describe design and implementation plans for new features.
Native API for connecting pods directly to external physical networks.
DSCP marking and traffic shaping at the pod level.
Tenant network isolation and custom network topologies.
Static IP address assignment for User Defined Networks.
Advertising pod and service routes to external BGP routers.
Layer 2 transit switch architecture for cross-node connectivity.
Model Context Protocol server for AI-assisted cluster debugging.
On-demand subnet allocation for UDN nodes as pods are scheduled.
Connecting User Defined Networks
Controlled inter-UDN connectivity via ClusterNetworkConnect.
Direct pod routing using BGP-learned routes without encapsulation.
Ethernet VPN integration for scalable multi-tenant networking.
Health monitoring for DPU-offloaded networking components.
Extend UDN to Support Multiple Cluster Subnets
Multiple cluster subnets in Layer3 topology for primary UDN/CUDN.
VRF-Lite shared gateway mode with external bridge uplinks.
Disable MAC Spoof Protection on Secondary Networks
Allow disabling port security on secondary network interfaces.
