The main difference between new and legacy (pre-1.7) netpol semantics
are the following:
* The DenyDefault ingress isolation annotation is obsoleted.
* Traffic is allowed to a pod if there are no netpol selecting
the pod.
See https://kubernetes.io/docs/api-reference/v1.6/#networkpolicyspec-v1beta1-extensions
vs https://kubernetes.io/docs/api-reference/v1.7/#networkpolicyspec-v1-networking
for more details.
weave-npc can operate either in the legacy or the new mode (default). To
use the legacy, pass "--use-legacy-netpol" arg when starting the npc.
In non-legacy mode we create for each Namespace a default-allow ipset
which stores IP addrs of such Pods which are not selected by any
NetworkPolicy.The ipsets are dst's in rules of the WEAVE-NPC-DEFAULT chain.
It's sad because this changes a regular pattern into an irregular one,
which will create spurious diffs if more work is added at the end of
the function. Still, this is easier than fixing the lint runner to
ignore the report.
If it's destined for a pod on another node it will be checked again
when it reaches that other node. The previous version was rejecting
traffic coming in from outside the cluster.
