How does the GCP/GKE VPC native network implement the alias IP assignment to each pod?
As in Google Kubernetes Engine – Networking, each Pod will have an IP from secondary IP CIDR range of the subnet (e..g 10.4.1.1).
Each pod in a Linux instance has its veth I/F. How does each veth(i) for pod(i) is linked to the network interface of the Linux box in which the pods run? Each pod (veth) has its own network interface attached to the Linux box, or all pods and veth interfaces share the single eth0?
According to Kubernetes networking on Google Cloud indicates the single eth0 of the Linux box is shared among pods. Then the single eth0 has multiple secondary alias IP addresses associated to it. Then how the Linux box can separate the packets to each alias IP and route them to the corresponding pod/veth? Is it using iptable to map an alias IP to a veth?
The GKE document Alias IP ranges defined in a VM network interface does not have the detail.
