Which affirmation is true about eBPF host-routing?
- A. eBPF host-routing allows bypassing iptables and upper stack overhead in the host namespace and some context-switching overhead when traversing through the Virtual Ethernet pairs.
- B. eBPF host-routing is particularly suitable when pods are exposed behind Kubernetes Services, which face external clients from the Internet.
- C. eBPF host-routing allows the network stack to prepare larger GSO (transmit) and GRO (receive) packets to reduce the number of times the stack is traversed, which improves performance and latency.
- D. eBPF host-routing ensures that traffic is distributed evenly across multiple backend services, improving the overall efficiency of load balancing.
