Intro: Network Service Mesh (NSM)
summary
Maps service-mesh ideas to L2/L3 and provides point-to-point virtual wires between workloads across clouds, VMs and bare metal. Deploys as Kubernetes daemonsets with central registries (NS, NSE, NSR), an admission controller and optional sidecar SDK, and uses a pluggable forwarding plane (currently VPP forwarding plane with a kernel-only option). Claims runtime interface injection at runtime so pods gain multiple interfaces or SR‑IOV VFs without restarts, performs label-based endpoint selection and live rewiring on failure, and stays CNI-agnostic.
