Description

Description: Since overload manager config is not part of Envoy gateway api and cannot be patched via Envoy patch policy, how could one tweak values for global max downstream connections (except of having to provide custom bootstrap config)?

[optional Relevant Links:]

Any extra documentation required to understand the issue.

Contributor guide

Research direction
