- The iptables mode of kube-proxy now tracks packets that are wrongfully marked invalid by conntrack and subsequently dropped by introducing `kubeproxy_iptables_ct_state_invalid_dropped_packets_total` metric ([#122812](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122812), [@aroradaman](https://github.com/aroradaman)) [SIG Instrumentation, Network and Testing]

	// If the user have configured the address to an interface on the node (but not a VS)
	// then traffic will temporary be routed to ipvs during the probe and dropped.
	// The later case is also and invalid configuration, but the traffic impact will be minor.
	// This should not be a problem if users honors reserved addresses, but cut/paste

	// This can be used, for instance, to keep traffic ONLY within the same cluster/node/region.
	// This should be used with caution, as it can result in all traffic being dropped if there is no matching endpoints,
	// even if there are endpoints outside of the preferences.

The complete file name of the generated archive. If any of the properties in the default value are empty, their '-' separator is dropped.

`archiveFile` — `Provider<RegularFile>`, _read-only_, default: `__destinationDirectory__/__archiveFileName__`::
The absolute file path of the generated archive.

The exact parameter and value depend on toolchain usage, or not, and Scala version.
