                                        “Sidecarless Service Mesh based on eBPF”

Kmesh is a sidecarless service mesh that uses eBPF inside the Linux kernel to handle service-to-service networking instead of deploying an Envoy proxy alongside every application.

2 . what’s the problem that kmesh solves?

let’s start with the jargons!

Term	here
Istiod	Control plane
Envoy	Proxy handling traffic
Sidecar	Extra container in each Pod
Data Plane	Actual traffic path
Control Plane	Configuration and policies
xDS	Configuration protocol from Istiod to proxies

“Every request passes through two Envoy proxies before reaching the destination service.”
