+	// not retried before the configured minimum duration.

+	// these SHOULD be canceled if possible and the Gateway MUST immediately
+	// return a timeout error.

+	// If a BackendRequest timeout (`rules[].timeouts.backendRequest`) is
+	// configured on the route, any retry attempts which reach the configured
+	// BackendRequest timeout duration without a response SHOULD be canceled if
+	// possible and the Gateway should wait for at least the specified backoff
+	// duration before attempting to retry the backend request again.
+	//
+	// If a BackendRequest timeout is _not_ configured on the route, retry
+	// attempts MAY time out after an implementation default duration, or MAY
