`kube-proxy` is a network proxy that runs on each node in the cluster.
|
||||
[kube-proxy](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-proxy/) is a
|
||||
network proxy that runs on each node in your cluster, implementing part of
|
||||
the Kubernetes {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="service">}} concept.
|
||||
|
||||
It enables the Kubernetes service abstraction by maintaining network rules on
|
||||
the host and performing connection forwarding.

|

`kube-proxy` is responsible for request forwarding. `kube-proxy` allows TCP and UDP stream forwarding or round robin TCP and UDP forwarding across a set of backend functions.
|
||||
kube-proxy maintains network rules on nodes. These network rules allow
|
||||
network communication to your Pods from network sessions inside or outside
|
||||
of your cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
kube-proxy uses the operating system packet filtering layer if there is one
|
||||
and it's available. Otherwise, kube-proxy forwards the traffic itself.
