This PR adds comprehensive HTTP/2 support and advanced service mesh features to
the Rust-ServiceMesh proxy, transforming it into a production-ready data plane
with modern protocol support, fault tolerance, and traffic management
capabilities.

Features Added

Protocol Support

  • HTTP/2 with ALPN negotiation - Automatic protocol selection via TLS ALPN
  • TLS termination - Rustls-based secure connections with modern cipher
    suites
  • h2c support - HTTP/2 over cleartext for internal traffic
  • Client TLS - Optional mTLS for upstream connections

Traffic Management

  • L7 Routing - Path, header, and method-based routing with regex support
  • Path rewriting - Dynamic URL transformation in routing rules
  • Rate limiting - Token bucket algorithm with global and per-client limits
  • Retry logic - Exponential backoff with jitter for transient failures

Load Balancing

  • Multiple strategies - Round-robin, least connections, random, weighted
  • Connection pooling - Efficient upstream connection management
  • Health tracking - Circuit breaker integration for fault tolerance
  • Automatic failover - Route to healthy endpoints only

Infrastructure

  • Docker support - Multi-stage build with security best practices
  • Performance benchmarks - Criterion-based benchmark suite
  • Comprehensive docs - Architecture guides and usage examples
  • CHANGELOG - Semantic versioning and release notes

Commits

  1. e116451 - HTTP/2 and TLS support with ALPN negotiation
  2. e8000ab - Token bucket rate limiting
  3. b985eb2 - Retry logic with exponential backoff
  4. f3830da - L7 routing and advanced load balancing
  5. a84c9a4 - Docker support and performance benchmarks
  6. c3a4456 - Comprehensive documentation and changelog

Testing

  • All existing tests updated for new features
  • Integration tests pass
  • Benchmarks demonstrate performance characteristics
  • Docker build completes successfully

Breaking Changes

None - This is additive functionality only. Existing HTTP/1.1 proxy
functionality remains unchanged.
