# TCPRoute

TCPRoute is a Google Cloud resource used to define and manage routing rules for TCP traffic within the GKE Gateway API. It allows users to configure how incoming TCP connections are matched and directed to backend services based on parameters such as port numbers or destination addresses, enabling flexible and scalable traffic management for applications.
