Hacking on *traffic* Repos used: : implements control plane, has testing stuff in pkg/test/main (iirc). : implements client for xDS - can probably list all code out from there. To see if things are working start the testing control plane from go-control-plane: https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/master/api/API_OVERVIEW.md https://github.com/envoyproxy/learnenvoy/blob/master/_articles/service-discovery.md Cluster: A cluster is a group of logically similar endpoints that Envoy connects to. In v2, RDS routes points to clusters, CDS provides cluster configuration and Envoy discovers the cluster members via EDS.
