// [#protodoc-title: Header based stateful session extension]
// This extension allows the session state to be tracked via request headers.
//
// This extension encodes the address of the upstream host selected by the load balancer
// into a response header with the :ref:`header configuration
// `.
// When new requests are incoming, this extension will try to parse the specific upstream host
// address by header name. If the address parsed from the header corresponds to a valid
// upstream host, this upstream host will be selected first. See :ref:`stateful session filter
// `.
//
// For example, if the header name is set to ``session-header``, Envoy will prefer ``1.2.3.4:80``
// as the upstream host when the request contains the following header:
//
// .. code-block:: none
//
// session-header: "MS4yLjMuNDo4MA=="
//
// When processing the upstream response, if ``1.2.3.4:80`` is indeed the final choice the extension
// does nothing. If ``1.2.3.4:80`` is not the final choice, the new selected host will be set to
// response headers (via the ``session-header`` response header).
//
