This document describes the current state of Envoy proxy integration in Diego and outlines what would be needed to implement full mutual TLS (mTLS) for container-to-container (C2C) traffic, enabling apps to both authenticate themselves and verify the identity of connecting apps.
The proposed approach introduces a new HTTP-based listener on port 62443 that runs alongside the existing TCP-based C2C port (61443), providing a dual opt-in model for both operators and app authors.
