Description

Description:

Similar to the MaxRequestsPerChild in apache/httpd, add a configuration in the Envoy HTTP listener to limit the maximum number of requests per connection. After the number of requests hit the maximum number, the TCP connection will be gracefully closed and a new TCP connection will be initialized by the client.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Envoy HTTP connection manager and implement a configuration to limit requests per connection, similar to Apache's MaxRequestsPerChild.
