Description

Title: Add local rate limit Implement for Generic_Proxy

Description:

We found that Generic_Proxy has no rate-limit function. When a large number of requests arrive in a short period of time, if the rate-limit process is not carried out, the server performance will be reduced and the system stability will be affected. Based on this problem, we developed the local rate-limit function. Does the community have such a plan?

Looking forward to your reply

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Generic Proxy implementation in Envoy and design a local rate limiting mechanism. Look at existing rate limit filters (e.g., Envoy's rate limit filter) and adapt them for the proxy. Consider integration with Envoy's configuration system.
