Interesting new proposal: https://www.mnot.net/blog/2016/03/09/alt-svc

Provides a way for the server to hint to the client that the same service is available on a different host.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Alternative Services proposal and determine how its server hint and client behavior map onto akka-http. No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue, so first establish the affected HTTP/2 server and client areas. Done requires an agreed scope and a complete implementation of the proposed behavior.
