Description
This PR adds support for allowedSourcePrefixes annotation to Calico with eBPF mode. This annotation allows the pods to sent out traffic with a source IP other than the pod IP and the annotation is already implemented for non-eBPF Calico modes.
Calico node is the only component that is affected directly by the PR. However, there are changes at the eBPF layer that can affect traffic in the cluster.
The testing consisted of a TCP packet generating script and a UDP proxy with IP_TRANSPARENT option enabled. The testing setup will be detailed below, but the results are common for both manual tests.
TCP Packet Generation
A pod controlled by a DaemonSet running on one of the nodes generates empty TCP packets using Python & Scapy. The source IP is set to 192.192.192.192. The generated packets are sent to an external machine every second. A tcpdump instance is running on the target machine.
UDP Proxy
A simple Python script that acts as a UDP proxy is deployed to the cluster with the updated calico-node image as a DaemonSet. Python script accepts incoming packets and uses IP_TRANSPARENT option to send them to the external machine while preserving the source IP. Once again, tcpdump is running on the target machine to observe incoming packets
Results
In both cases, before adding any annotations to the test pod, the egress pods are getting dropped and the following logs are observed in
bpftool prog tracelogSecond line was added temporarily for debugging purposes
Once the following annotation
cni.projectcalico.org/allowedSourcePrefixes: '["192.192.192.192/32"]'is added to the test pod, packets start reaching target machine. In addition, the following logs are observed.Once the annotation is removed, the initial logs are observed again.
