Description

At the moment Envoy proxy supports hedged request with per timeout policy.

In our case we need to send multiple requests simultaneously (3 identical requests to 3 different backends for example) and get one fastest response.

The number of parallel requests needs to be configured from config

Is it possible to implement it in Envoy ?
