Description

description

it would be great to have a sandbox that demonstrated http3/quic - it would also be quite handy to have a sandbox that demonstrated proxying between protocol versions - ie

  • 3 backend servers each providing one of http 1/2/3
  • 3 frontend servers also fixed to 1/2/3 but proxying to the backends

we probs also want it to proxy to upstream https - which would hopefully catch issues like #17105

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing sandboxes in the Envoy repository, understand the configuration for HTTP/3 and QUIC, and implement a sandbox that demonstrates proxying between HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 with three backend and three frontend servers.
