if I upgrade from 1.34.2 to 1.34.3, it works, but if I restart all rke2 nginx pods, they respawn, but LB does not work anymore. I can see that calico sent withdraw for the LB IP and never sends new path. I use externalTrafficPolicy: Local.

What is your LB controller? Rke2 does not come with a LB controller... so id look at the logs for whatever LB you've configured.

metallb. but the LB is still configured and has an IP assigned, the IP is just not propagated by calico to BPG peers.

Wouldn't it be the responsibility of metallb to do the bgp advertisement for the LB IPs? That is normally how you set it up if you are using metallb in bgp mode.

I configured mtellb only to allocate IPs (which can to calico by itself now, but not tested), BPG stuff is completely handled by calico

Yeah I've never done that. I'd ask the Calico folks.

described here. worked till 3.30.4. https://docs.tigera.io/calico/latest/networking/configuring/bgp#configure-a-global-bgp-peer
