Description

When multiple router replicas are deployed, the QPS routing on a router replica only relies on its in-memory Request Stats.
This means that the routing logic doesn't consider the overall QPS on the serving URL but only the QPS routed via this replica.
This might cause the overload the URL when it has more requests coming through other router replicas.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or specific entry points. Start by locating the router's in-memory Request Stats and the QPS routing path, then examine how traffic is represented across replicas. Done requires an agreed design for accounting for overall serving-URL QPS and a clear validation plan.
