A TCP/TLS load balancer for Linkerd 1.x.
linkerd-tcp
A TCP load balancer for the linkerd service mesh.
Status: beta
Features
- Lightweight, native TCP and TLS load balancer built on tokio.
- Weighted-least-loaded P2C load balancing.
- Minimal resource utilization: typically <.5 cores with ~2MB RSS.
- Tightly integrated with the linkerd service mesh.
- Supports endpoint weighting (i.e. for "red line" testing).
- Modern Transport Layer Security via rustls:
- TLS1.2 and TLS1.3 (draft 18) only.
- ECDSA or RSA server authentication by clients.
- RSA server authentication by servers.
- Forward secrecy using ECDHE; with curve25519, nistp256 or nistp384 curves.
- AES128-GCM and AES256-GCM bulk encryption, with safe nonces.
- Chacha20Poly1305 bulk encryption.
- ALPN support.
- SNI support.
Quickstart
- Install Rust and Cargo.
- Run namerd.
./namerd.sh
fetches, configures, and runs namerd using a local-fs-backed discovery (in ./tmp.discovery). - From this repository, run:
cargo run -- example.yml
We :heart: pull requests! See CONTRIBUTING.md for info on contributing changes.
Usage

ARGS:
<PATH> Config file path
Example configuration
# Administrative control endpoints are exposed on a dedicated HTTP server. Endpoints
# include:
# - /metrics -- produces a snapshot of metrics formatted for prometheus.
# - /shutdown -- POSTing to this endpoint initiates graceful shutdown.
# - /abort -- POSTing to this terminates the process immediately.
admin:
port: 9989
# By default, the admin server listens only on localhost. We can force it to bind
# on all interfaces by overriding the IP.
ip: 0.0.0.0
# Metrics are snapshot at a fixed interval of 10s.
metricsIntervalSecs: 10
# A process exposes one or more 'routers'. Routers connect server traffic to
# load balancers.
routers:
# Each router has a 'label' for reporting purposes.
- label: default
# Each router is configured to resolve names.
# Currently, only namerd's HTTP interface is supported:
interpreter:
kind: io.l5d.namerd.http
baseUrl: http://localhost:4180
namespace: default
periodSecs: 20
servers:
# Each router has one or more 'servers' listening for incoming connections.
# By default, routers listen on localhost. You need to specify a port.
- port: 7474
dstName: /svc/default
# You can limit the amount of time that a server will wait to obtain a
# connection from the router.
connectTimeoutMs: 500
# By default each server listens on 'localhost' to avoid exposing an open
# relay by default. Servers may be configured to listen on a specific local
# address or all local addresses (0.0.0.0).
- port: 7575
ip: 0.0.0.0
# Note that each server may route to a different destination through a
# single router:
dstName: /svc/google
# Servers may be configured to perform a TLS handshake.
tls:
defaultIdentity:
privateKey: private.pem
certs:
- cert.pem
- ../eg-ca/ca/intermediate/certs/ca-chain.cert.pem
# Clients may also be configured to perform a TLS handshake.
client:
kind: io.l5d.static
# We can also apply linkerd-style per-client configuration:
configs:
- prefix: /svc/google
connectTimeoutMs: 400
# Require that the downstream connection be TLS'd, with a
# `subjectAltName` including the DNS name _www.google.com_
# using either our local CA or the host's default openssl
# certificate.
tls:
dnsName: "www.google.com"
trustCerts:
- ../eg-ca/ca/intermediate/certs/ca-chain.cert.pem
- /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem
Logging
Logging may be enabled by setting RUST_LOG=linkerd_tcp=info
on the environment. When
debugging, set RUST_LOG=trace
.
Docker
To build the linkerd/linkerd-tcp docker image, run:
./dockerize latest
Replace latest
with the version that you want to build.
Try running the image with:
