anycast: put IP on pod eth0, not lo
The design doc's lo placement was motivated by avoiding NDP/ARP DAD
conflicts "across nodes advertising the same IP" — but flock pods each
sit on their own /64 veth subnet. DAD on eth0 only sees the host peer,
no cross-node L2.

With the IP on lo, the pod kernel doesn't reply to NDP solicits arriving
on eth0 (Linux default: answer NDP only for addresses on the receiving
interface). The host route `<ip>/128 dev flock<8hex>` causes the host
to do NDP for the destination on the veth; pod ignores; packet drops
silently between forwarding decision and transmit. Symptom: v4 anycast
works (proxy_arp=1 on the host veth handles ARP), v6 anycast doesn't.

Putting on eth0 makes NDP just work.

flock

Kubernetes CNI for sjc001. Per-pod IPv4 opt-in, IID embedding, Ready-gated anycast via BGP.

Design doc: k8s-manager/dfritz-cni.md (in the operator's k8s-manager repo).

Status: M1 scaffold. Not functional. See milestones table in the design doc.

Layout

  • cmd/flock — CNI plugin binary (kubelet-invoked)
  • cmd/flock-agent — DaemonSet binary
  • pkg/api/v1alpha1NodeConfig CRD types
  • pkg/cni — CNI plugin internals + RPC client
  • pkg/agent — agent server, IPAM, state file, anycast, NetworkPolicy
  • pkg/embedip-algo IID embedding (pure)
  • pkg/routing/{bird,ospf} — routing backends
  • deploy/ — CRDs, RBAC, DaemonSet manifests
