Advertising involves allocating a VIP and publishing the name and VIP mapping in the service registry e.g. Proxy’s control plane has to make sure that client can discover server’s IP address and this is achieved by publishing the VIP. There may be other service discovery mechanism that clients may use, for example K8s discovery, Consul, Route53, etc. Client has to discover the VIP and this is usually done by making client’s DNS server answer with VIP when client does name resolution. Proxy presents Virtual IP (VIP) of the server to client.

Network and Application resilience, testing, and fault injection.

Security - URL filtering, application firewall, application policy, TLS offload, etc.

Application level (Layer 7) routing - load balancing, API gateway, etc.

Connecting client and servers that are on isolated networks.

There are many reasons for proxy to be deployed between a client and a server: Clients and servers may be users, machines, applications or microservices. Server is referred to as an endpoint and is usually a collection or a set of endpoints that offer some service. In the case of VoltMesh, a load balancer is a proxy that is defined to be an entity that terminates an incoming TCP connections or UDP streams and initiates a new connection from the proxy. Volterra’s load balancing and proxy capabilities lets you control the flow of application and API traffic between services, to the internet, and from clients on the internet.
