Kube-Router: The Complete Guide to the Kubernetes Network Plugin
<p><a href="https://www.kube-router.io/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Kube-router</a> is an open-source Kubernetes network <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/network-policy-provider/kube-router-network-policy/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">plug-in</a> designed to provide high-performance, low-latency network services. It uses Layer 3 Routing to achieve network communication in the Kubernetes cluster.</p>

<p><strong>The key concepts of Kube-router include:</strong></p>
<p><strong>BGP router</strong>: Kube-router uses BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) to implement routing, which means it can dynamically adapt to node changes in the cluster. Each node is configured as a BGP router and they share network information to ensure that communication between containers can occur efficiently and reliably.</p>
<p><strong>IPVS load balancing</strong>: Kube-router uses IPVS (IP Virtual Server) to implement load balancing to ensure that traffic is evenly distributed among containers. This provides high performance and scalability, especially for large-scale Kubernetes clusters.</p>
