# TLSRoute

TLSRoute is a Google Cloud resource used in Traffic Director and Gateway API to define how TLS traffic is routed within a service mesh or gateway. It specifies rules for matching incoming TLS connections based on attributes like SNI hostnames and directs them to appropriate backend services. This enables secure, policy-driven routing for encrypted traffic.
