## Configuration protocol

Ztunnel, of course, needs to be dynamically configured in order to make decisions on how it should handle traffic.
For this purpose, we chose to use xDS transport protocol due to our expertise and existing infrastructure, and because the protocol is well suited to our needs.

// K8S may get a pod Add event without any IPs in the object, and the pod will later be updated with IPs.
//
// We always need the IPs, but this is fine because this AddPodToMesh can be called from the CNI plugin as well,
// which always has the firsthand info of the IPs, even before K8S does - so we pass them separately here because
// we actually may have them before K8S in the Pod object.

    - Get the port list from pods definition, as well as annotations.
    - Setup iptables with required port list: `nsenter --net=<k8s pod netns> /opt/cni/bin/istio-iptables ...`. Following conditions will prevent the redirect rules to be setup in the pods:
