We have a very nasty issue in kubernetes with it's userspace-proxy leaking handles, when misbehaving workload doesn't close connections properly (e.g. Java InputStreams). Could this be related?

Maybe. The kubernetes 1.0 proxy is a pure TCP proxy so would need more details. Could you file an issue?

Kubernetes 1.1 will have an iptables based proxy too: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/3760#issueco...

There is an open issue in which we came to more or less the same conclusion as mentioned the article (not a bug, but a feature of the TCP/IP protocol).

i am a bit puzzled why other people are not constantly bitten by this, though.
