<p>I understood kube-proxy can run in iptables or ipvs mode. Also, calico sets up iptables rules.</p>
<p>But does calico iptables rules are only installed when kube proxy is running in iptables mode OR these iptables rules are installed irrespective to kube-proxy mode?</p>

<p>According to the <a href="https://docs.projectcalico.org/networking/enabling-ipvs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Calico ipvs support is activated automatically if Calico detects that
kube-proxy is running in that mode.</p>
</blockquote>
