13.4. Enabling multicast for a project

重要

The Open Virtual Networking (OVN) Kubernetes network plug-in is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information about the support scope of the OVN Technology Preview, see https://access.redhat.com/articles/4380121.

注意

In OpenShift Container Platform 4.5, a bug prevents Pods in the same namespace, but assigned to different nodes, from communicating over multicast. For more information, see BZ#1843695.

13.4.1. About multicast
复制链接

With IP multicast, data is broadcast to many IP addresses simultaneously.

重要

At this time, multicast is best used for low-bandwidth coordination or service discovery and not a high-bandwidth solution.

Multicast traffic between OpenShift Container Platform pods is disabled by default. If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes default Container Network Interface (CNI) network provider, you can enable multicast on a per-project basis.

13.4.2. Enabling multicast between pods
复制链接

You can enable multicast between pods for your project.

Prerequisites

Install the OpenShift CLI (oc).
You must log in to the cluster with a user that has the cluster-admin role.

Procedure

Run the following command to enable multicast for a project. Replace <namespace> with the namespace for the project you want to enable multicast for.
```
oc annotate namespace <namespace> \
    k8s.ovn.org/multicast-enabled=true
```
```
$ oc annotate namespace <namespace> \
    k8s.ovn.org/multicast-enabled=true
```

Verification

To verify that multicast is enabled for a project, complete the following procedure:

Change your current project to the project that you enabled multicast for. Replace <project> with the project name.
```
oc project <project>
```
```
$ oc project <project>
```

Create a pod to act as a multicast receiver:

cat <<EOF| oc create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: mlistener
  labels:
    app: multicast-verify
spec:
  containers:
    - name: mlistener
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8
      command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
      args:
        ["dnf -y install socat hostname && sleep inf"]
      ports:
        - containerPort: 30102
          name: mlistener
          protocol: UDP
EOF

$ cat <<EOF| oc create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: mlistener
  labels:
    app: multicast-verify
spec:
  containers:
    - name: mlistener
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8
      command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
      args:
        ["dnf -y install socat hostname && sleep inf"]
      ports:
        - containerPort: 30102
          name: mlistener
          protocol: UDP
EOF

Create a pod to act as a multicast sender:

cat <<EOF| oc create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: msender
  labels:
    app: multicast-verify
spec:
  containers:
    - name: msender
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8
      command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
      args:
        ["dnf -y install socat && sleep inf"]
EOF

$ cat <<EOF| oc create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: msender
  labels:
    app: multicast-verify
spec:
  containers:
    - name: msender
      image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8
      command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
      args:
        ["dnf -y install socat && sleep inf"]
EOF

Start the multicast listener.

Get the IP address for the Pod:

POD_IP=$(oc get pods mlistener -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}')

$ POD_IP=$(oc get pods mlistener -o jsonpath='{.status.podIP}')

Copy to Clipboard

Toggle word wrap

To start the multicast listener, in a new terminal window or tab, enter the following command:

oc exec mlistener -i -t -- \
    socat UDP4-RECVFROM:30102,ip-add-membership=224.1.0.1:$POD_IP,fork EXEC:hostname

$ oc exec mlistener -i -t -- \
    socat UDP4-RECVFROM:30102,ip-add-membership=224.1.0.1:$POD_IP,fork EXEC:hostname

Copy to Clipboard

Toggle word wrap

Start the multicast transmitter.

Get the pod network IP address range:

CIDR=$(oc get Network.config.openshift.io cluster \
    -o jsonpath='{.status.clusterNetwork[0].cidr}')

$ CIDR=$(oc get Network.config.openshift.io cluster \
    -o jsonpath='{.status.clusterNetwork[0].cidr}')

Copy to Clipboard

To send a multicast message, enter the following command:

oc exec msender -i -t -- \
    /bin/bash -c "echo | socat STDIO UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.1.0.1:30102,range=$CIDR,ip-multicast-ttl=64"

$ oc exec msender -i -t -- \
    /bin/bash -c "echo | socat STDIO UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.1.0.1:30102,range=$CIDR,ip-multicast-ttl=64"

If multicast is working, the previous command returns the following output:

mlistener
