 = About network policy
 
-In a cluster using a network plugin that supports Kubernetes network policy, network isolation is controlled entirely by `NetworkPolicy` objects.
-In {product-title} {product-version}, OpenShift SDN supports using network policy in its default network isolation mode.

 [WARNING]
 ====
-* A network policy does not apply to the host network namespace. Pods with host networking enabled are unaffected by network policy rules. However, pods connecting to the host-networked pods might be affected by the network policy rules.
+* On OpenShift SDN: A network policy does not apply to the host network namespace. Network policy rules do not impact pods configured with host networking enabled. Network policy rules might impact pods connected to host-networked pods.
+
+* On Openshift-OVN-Kubernetes: Network policies do impact pods that have host networking enabled, so you must explicitly allow a connection to these pods in your network policy rules. If a namespace has any network policy applied, traffic originating from system components, such as `openshift-ingress` or `openshift-kube-apiserver`, get dropped by default; You must explicitly enable this traffic to allow it through.
 
 * Using the `namespaceSelector` field without the `podSelector` field set to `{}` will not include `hostNetwork` pods. You must use the `podSelector` set to `{}` with the `namespaceSelector` field in order to target `hostNetwork` pods when creating network policies.

 = Limited live migration to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin overview
 
-The limited live migration method is the process in which the OpenShift SDN network plugin and its network configurations, connections, and associated resources, are migrated to the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin without service interruption. It is available for {product-title}, and is the preferred method for migrating from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes. In the event that you cannot perform a limited live migration, you can use the offline migration method.

 After migration, manual verification of RBAC resources is required. For information about setting the `aggregate-to-admin` ClusterRole after migration, see the example in link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6117301[How to allow project admins to manage Egressfirewall resources in RHOCP4].
 
 * When a cluster depends on static routes or routing policies in the host network so that pods can reach some destinations, users should set `routingViaHost` spec to `true` and `ipForwarding` to `Global` in the `gatewayConfig` object before the migration. This will offload routing decision to host kernel. For more information, see link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7070870[Recommended practice to follow before Openshift SDN network plugin migration to OVNKubernetes plugin] (Red Hat Knowledgebase) and, see step five in "Checking cluster resources before initiating the limited live migration".

If a policy exists, enable traffic that originates from `openshift-ingress` or `openshift-kube-apiserver` system services to prevent the default setting from blocking this traffic.

 * If your `openshift-sdn` cluster with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for hardware time stamping and you migrate to the OVN-Kubernetes plugin, the hardware time stamping cannot be applied to primary interface devices, such as an Open vSwitch (OVS) bridge. As a result, UDP version 4 configurations cannot work with a `br-ex` interface.

Migrating from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes does not automatically update role-base access control (RBAC) resources.
