cluster-networking-spans-discovery-and-data-plane

Status: IN

OpenShift cluster networking operates across two complementary layers: the DNS discovery layer (CoreDNS DaemonSet with deterministic 10th-address allocation and strict forwarding zone rules) and the multi-CNI data plane (OVN-Kubernetes primary + Multus secondary with NAD-based pod attachment) — both must be healthy for workloads to communicate.

Justifications

depth-2 — discovery and data plane are independently architected but jointly required for connectivity

Depends on (SL): dns-service-discovery-architecture, multi-cni-network-architecture
