+ * serviced by two callbacks, \a lb_on_server_status_received and \a
+ * lb_on_response_received. The former will be called when the call to the LB
+ * server completes. This can happen if the LB server closes the connection or
+ * if this policy itself cancels the call (for example because it's shutting
+ * down). If the internal call times out, the usual behavior of pick-first
+ * applies, continuing to pick from the list {a1..an}.

- * Back in \a query_for_backends(), the internal *streaming* call to the LB

- * If the call fails with UNIMPLEMENTED, the original call will also fail.
- * There's a misconfiguration somewhere: at least one of {a1..an} isn't a LB

- * list {a1..an}.

- * Upon sucesss, a \a LoadBalancingResponse is expected in \a res_recv_cb. An
- * invalid one results in the termination of the streaming call. A new streaming
- * call should be created if possible, failing the original call otherwise.
- * For a valid \a LoadBalancingResponse, the server list of actual backends is
