In this video, Tomas walks us through the concept of Direct Service Return (DSR) and the game-changing advantages of Calico's eBPF.

Imagine this: You send a request, but it takes an unnecessary detour before reaching its destination. Sounds familiar? That's where DSR comes in. It shortens the path a request must travel inside your cluster, reducing response times and eliminating unnecessary delays.

In the video you’ll learn:

* How pods consume services within the cluster (Cluster IPs).

* The different ways a service can be consumed outside of the cluster (Node Ports, Load Balancers, and Service IP advertisement).

* What is External Traffic Policy, and how does it impact a service?

* How Services and Network Policy interact.

* How all this works under the covers in concrete networking terms.

* What differences do Calico’s native service handling capabilities bring to the picture compared to kube-proxy.
