I have an observation but not sure it belongs in a document.
Implementations such as nginx have a soft max number of HTTP/2 requests
before closing the connection (default 1000 last I checked). If you're
trying to sample the transport info to frequently you may end ip blowing it
up. This seems unfortunate because the client use case is designed around
making smarter transport related decisions.
