Description

It looks like Envoy currently implements Power-of-two load balancing (Weighted Least Request). Is there any plans to implement JIQ load balancing?

Based on the research [1] JIQ has advantages of Power-of-two. Has this been something considered to date? If a contributor is looking at add yet-another-LB-algorithm, what part of the code base should they start to look at?
