Although it provides great performance, at times, L7 load-balancing might become necessary in K8s. There are many good L7 proxies already available for K8s. Still, we are working on providing a great L7 solution natively in eBPF. It is a tough endeavor one which should reap great benefits once completed. Please keep an eye for updates on this. ## Telco-Cloud with loxilb -For deploying telco-cloud with cloud-native functions, loxilb can be used as a SCP(service communication proxy). SCP is a communication proxy defined by [3GPP](https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/129500_129599/129500/16.04.00_60/ts_129500v160400p.pdf) and aimed at telco micro-services running in cloud-native environment. Telco-cloud requires load-balancing and communication across various interfaces/standards like N2, N4, E2(ORAN), S6x, 5GLAN, GTP etc. Each of these present its own unique challenges which loxilb aims to solve e.g.: +For deploying telco-cloud with cloud-native functions, loxilb can be used as a SCP(service communication proxy).
