Hi @Sahichowdary. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a github.com member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Friendly ping — just checking if there are any initial thoughts or
suggestions on this KEP. Happy to refine based on feedback.

This is a pull request; (actualy) KEPs are GitHub issues.

Did you already discuss this with SIG Network? That's a good first step.

[Sahichowdary]

Thanks for the feedback. I have now opened an Enhancement Tracking Issue
for this proposal:

#5770

Happy to refine the design based on SIG-Network guidance.

It would be good to describe in more detail why this makes sense to be built into a core Kubernetes functionality vs as a standalone project. From what is described, it sounds like this could be implemented as a controller + CRD outside of K8s? It might even be helpful to to a prototype and link it in the proposal.
