Project Calico

Project Calico is a layer 3-based networking model that uses the built-in routing functions of the Linux kernel. Routes are propagated to virtual routers on each host via Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Calico can be used for anything from small-scale deploys to large internet-scale installations. Because it works at a lower level on the network stack, there is no need for additional NAT, tunneling, or overlays. It can interact directly with the underlying network infrastructure. Additionally, it has a support for network-level ACLs to provide additional isolation and security. For more information, visit http://www.projectcalico.org/.
