Description
A lot of Kubernetes users (using IPVS proxy) run on CentOS 7 which is based on Linux 3.10. In the past there have been compatibility issues with older kernel where certain netlink attributes do not exist. For example, for Linux < 3.18 the address family doesn't exist so we had to create some workarounds (https://github.com/moby/ipvs/pull/15 and https://github.com/moby/ipvs/pull/19). The address family compatibility issue would have been caught if we ran tests on CentOS 7.
