The Release
Cilium 1.16 – High-Performance Networking With Netkit, Gateway API Gamma Support, BGPV2 and More!
The theme of the release is “Faster, Stronger, Smarter” – faster for the blazing performances you will get with netkit, the new virtual network device, stronger for all the security and operational improvements, such as Network Policies Port Range support and smarter for all the new traffic engineering features such as Kubernetes Service Traffic Distribution, Local Redirect Policy and a 5x reduction in tail latency for DNS policies!
