- Kube-apiserver: multiple comma-separated protocols in a single X-Stream-Protocol-Version header are now recognized, in addition to multiple headers, complying with RFC2616 ([#89857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89857), [@tedyu](https://github.com/tedyu)) [SIG API Machinery]

- To ensure the code be strong,  add unit test for GetAddressAndDialer ([#93180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93180), [@FreeZhang61](https://github.com/FreeZhang61)) [SIG Node]
- UDP and SCTP protocols can left stale connections that need to be cleared to avoid services disruption, but they can cause problems that are hard to debug.

- This code change fixes the bug that UDP services would trigger unnecessary LoadBalancer updates. The root cause is that a field not working for non-TCP protocols is considered.
