## Architectural Considerations

### Pilot Tests

- **Component Focus**: Primarily focuses on the Pilot component and its interactions with Envoy proxies.
- **Setup Requirements**: Requires the Istio control plane to be initialized with Pilot.

Concurrency
===========

This document describes the concurrency considerations for http/2 connections and the connection pool within OkHttp.

## HTTP/2 Connections

The HttpURLConnection API is a blocking API. You make a blocking write to send a request, and a blocking read to receive the response.

#### Blocking APIs

It is much more difficult for the C world to have pointers into the Go
world, because the Go garbage collector is unaware of the memory
allocated by C.  The most important consideration is not to
constrain future implementations, so the rule is that Go code can
hand a Go pointer to C code but must separately arrange for
Go to hang on to a reference to the pointer until C is done with it.

Typically, it is rare to get new connections after shutdown has started - once shutdown is triggered the endpoint is marked `NotReady` and removed from load balancing consideration.
However, some applications do not utilize Service readiness (connecting directly to the pod, etc).
