* [IPVS] Allow for transparent kube-proxy restarts ([#75283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75283), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))

* [IPVS] Introduces flag ipvs-strict-arp to configure stricter ARP sysctls, defaulting to false to preserve existing behaviors. This was enabled by default in 1.13.0, which impacted a few CNI plugins. ([#75295](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75295), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))

#### **IPVS**

*   You can now use the --cleanup-ipvs flag to tell kube-proxy whether to flush all existing ipvs rules in on startup ([#56036](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56036),[ @m1093782566](https://github.com/m1093782566))

so this change will only impact users who have changed their startup.mode to be 'automatic' in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf. ([#57475](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57475), [@stmcginnis](https://github.com/stmcginnis))

* The IPVS feature gateway is now enabled by default in kubeadm, which makes the  --feature-gates=SupportIPVSProxyMode=true obsolete, and it is no longer supported. ([#60540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60540), [@m1093782566](https://github.com/m1093782566))...

- Kube-proxy: remove deprecated --cleanup-ipvs flag of kube-proxy, and make --cleanup flag always to flush IPVS ([#97336](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97336), [@maaoBit](https://github.com/maaoBit)) [SIG Network]

- IPVS: Any ipvs scheduler can now be configured. If a un-usable scheduler is configured `kube-proxy` will re-start and the logs must be checked (same as before but different log printouts). ([#114878](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114878), [@...

- Kube-proxy no longer falls back from ipvs mode to iptables mode if you ask it to do ipvs but the system is not correctly configured. Instead, it will just exit with an error.
