We connect Nodes to the cluster network in a similar way as Pods. That is, to create a veth pair and connect one side to the network. The following is a summary of differences between Pods and Nodes.
| Pod (CNI) | Node | |
|---|---|---|
| IPAM | host-local | 2nd IP of podCIDR |
| contNS | args.Netns (from docker) | host namespace |
| contVethName | args.IfName ("eth0") | fixed ("midokube-node") |
| hostVethName | generated from NS/Pod | fixed ("midokube-mido") |
| MidoNet port | pod.idForKey(podKey) | node.portIDForKey(nodename) |
