Epic Goal

• The default Multi-NetworkPolicy backend will be changed to the new nftables backend.
• The code in the main branch of openshift/multus-networkpolicy repository will transition from the iptables backend to the nftables soon after branch cutoff (release-4.22).
• In doing so, we avoid the administrative work of productizing a new container image in OpenShift, which historically has been a long process.

• The nftables backend will be promoted to General Availability (GA) status.
• No API parameter will be added to the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) to allow users to revert to the iptables backend. Any regression bugs discovered in the nftables backend will be addressed directly, without offering an option to switch back to iptables.

Why is this important?

• iptables is deprecated in RHEL 9 and removed in RHEL 10.
