Cilium's topology-aware implementation did not correctly implement the following safe guards [1]: 4. If no fitting backend found for current zone us backends from all zones 5. Use all backends if one or more endpoints did not have zone hints It did correctly implement: (1. insufficient endpoints (endpointslice controller responsibility) (2. unbalanced allocation (endpointslice controller responsibility) 3. Use all backends if local node missing zone label This is fixed by doing an additional iteration over the backends to check 4. and 5. before trying to apply the zone hints.
