### DestinationPolicy
DestinationPolicy declares policies that determine how to handle traffic for a
destination service (load balancing policies, failure recovery policies such
as timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, etc).  Policies are applicable per
individual service versions. ONLY ONE policy can be defined per service version.
/
Note that these policies are enforced on client-side connections or
requests, i.e., enforced when the service is opening a
connection/sending a request via the proxy to the destination.

### DestinationWeight
Each routing rule is associated with one or more service versions (see
glossary in beginning of document). Weights associated with the version
determine the proportion of traffic it receives.

  <td>The proportion of traffic to be forwarded to the service version. Max is 100. Sum of weights across destinations should add up to 100. If there is only destination in a rule, the weight value is assumed to be 100.</td>

<a name="istio.proxy.v1alpha.config.HTTPFaultInjection"></a>
### HTTPFaultInjection
Faults can be injected into the API calls by the proxy, for testing the
failure recovery capabilities of downstream services.  Faults include
aborting the Http request from downstream service, delaying the proxying of
requests, or both. MUST specify either delay or abort or both.

  <td><a href="#istio.proxy.v1alpha.config.HTTPFaultInjection.Abort">Abort</a></td>
  <td>Abort Http request attempts and return error codes back to downstream service, giving the impression that the upstream service is faulty. N.B. Both delay and abort can be specified simultaneously. Delay and Abort are independent of one another. For e.g., if Delay is restricted to 5% of requests while Abort is restricted to 10% of requests, the 10% in abort specification applies to all requests directed to the service. It may be the case that one or more requests being aborted were also delayed.</td>
 </tr>

service.

<a name="istio.proxy.v1alpha.config.L4FaultInjection"></a>
### L4FaultInjection
/@exclude Faults can be injected into the connections from downstream by the
proxy, for testing the failure recovery capabilities of downstream
services.  Faults include aborting the connection from downstream
service, delaying the proxying of connection to the destination
service, and throttling the bandwidth of the connection (either
end). Bandwidth throttling for failure testing should not be confused
with the rate limiting policy enforcement provided by the Mixer
component. L4 fault injection is not supported at the moment.
Unlike Http services, we have very little context for raw Tcp|Udp
connections. We could throttle bandwidth of the connections (slow down
the connection) and/or abruptly reset (terminate) the Tcp connection
after it has been established.

### RouteRule
Route rule provides a custom routing policy based on the source and
destination service versions and connection/request metadata.  The rule must
provide a set of conditions for each protocol (TCP, UDP, HTTP) that the
destination service exposes on its ports. The rule applies only to the ports
on the destination service for which it provides protocol-specific match
condition, e.g. if the rule does not specify TCP condition, the rule does
not apply to TCP traffic towards the destination service.

### StringMatch
Describes how to matches a given string (exact match, prefix-based
match or posix style regex based match). Match is case-sensitive. NOTE:
use of regex depends on the specific proxy implementation.
