Enable IoT and Media Support in CF with Custom TCP/UDP Routers
summary
A prototype extends Cloud Foundry routing to handle UDP and arbitrary TCP protocols by adding a pluggable router layer that lets operators attach any proxy executable (HAProxy/pound-style adapters were used in experiments) and by introducing CF emitter, routing API, and a CF router that configures proxies via a load‑balancer API. Code lives on Bitbucket, requires heavy forks of Diego and controller, and is functional for MQTT/CoAP/RTP/SIP-style flows but is not yet fully automated or production‑ready. UDP support and custom TCP/UDP routers are demonstrated.
