.. _config_http_conn_man_rds:
The route discovery service (RDS) API is an optional API that Envoy will call to dynamically fetch
:ref:route configurations <envoy_v3_api_msg_config.route.v3.RouteConfiguration>. A route configuration includes both
HTTP header modifications, virtual hosts, and the individual route entries contained within each
virtual host. Each :ref:HTTP connection manager filter <config_http_conn_man> can independently
fetch its own route configuration via the API. Optionally, the
:ref:virtual host discovery service <config_http_conn_man_vhds>
can be used to fetch virtual hosts separately from the route configuration.
v3 API reference <v3_grpc_streaming_endpoints>RDS has a :ref:statistics <subscription_statistics> tree rooted at http.<stat_prefix>.rds.<route_config_name>..
Any : character in the route_config_name name gets replaced with _ in the
stats tree.
