Linkerd Protocol Detection
Linkerd’s lightweight service mesh automatically detects the protocol of incoming connections by inspecting the first bytes, enabling features such as HTTP metrics, retries, and load‑balancing without manual annotations. The detection logic recognises HTTP/1.x, HTTP/2, gRPC, TLS and falls back to raw TCP when no signature matches. Administrators can adjust the default 10‑second detection timeout via ConfigMap, Helm values, or per‑pod annotations, and can mark ports as opaque for server‑first or custom binary protocols. Built‑in CLI and Viz tools help verify detection status and troubleshoot issues.
