Simplifying and Making the Network Programmable with Kubernetes and SRv6
summary
Cilium eBPF code integrates SRv6 to give pods per-pod VRF membership using three kernel maps (vrf map, sid map, policy map), attaches eBPF at TC ingress/egress to encapsulate/decapsulate, and runs a BGP control plane to learn and advertise SIDs. The proof‑of‑concept wires this into FRR and demonstrates end-to-end L3VPN over native IPv6 with working ping and tcpdump evidence of correct SRv6 encapsulation and decapsulation.
