Envoy Gateway Client Traffic Policy

Generate ClientTrafficPolicy resources to configure how Envoy Proxy handles downstream client connections. This includes timeouts, connection limits, TLS client settings, HTTP protocol behavior, IP detection, and header management.

ClientTrafficPolicy attaches to Gateway resources (not Routes) and configures the listener-level behavior for all traffic entering through that Gateway.

Instructions

Step 1: Create the ClientTrafficPolicy

ClientTrafficPolicy targets a Gateway. A section-specific policy (targeting a named listener) takes precedence over a gateway-wide policy.
