Hi everyone,

In our infrastructure, we use:

- **Traefik** as a reverse proxy,

- **Nomad** as the orchestrator,

- **Consul** for service discovery.

We encountered an issue where downloads from a GitLab container (including `docker pull`) would terminate abruptly after **~16 seconds**. After extensive testing, we found that setting `traefik.consulcatalog.connect=false` resolved the issue.

**Question:** Out of curiosity, does anyone know why enabling `consulcatalog.connect` would cause such a traffic limitation? Is this a known behavior, or could it be related to Envoy’s default timeouts, buffer sizes, or connection handling in Consul Connect?

Thanks for any insights!
