OpenShift 4.14 IPSEC handling errors at cluster density exceeding 120 nodes
Issue
- Cluster traffic degradation and a consistent failure rate of traffic calls between pods using IPSEC
- Intermittent timeouts between pods on neighboring nodes, but pods on the same node experience no traffic interruptions
- Traffic loss is observed from pods calling other pods via service, and throughput to applications is degraded by some percentage greater than zero.
Environment
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) 4.14
