feat: serve TLSRoute in Passthrough mode (backport apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882) - #485
Conversation
The stream proxy can now forward a TLS stream to the upstream untouched while still picking that upstream from the SNI, which it prereads from the ClientHello rather than learning from a handshake it performed itself (apache/apisix#13912). That is exactly what Gateway API asks of a listener in Passthrough mode, and until now the only thing the stream subsystem could not do - routing by SNI implied terminating. A Passthrough listener therefore behaved as Terminate: the translator never looked at tls.mode, so the gateway decrypted a stream the backend was supposed to own, and the handshake failed against a certificate the gateway does not have. - TLSRoute now reads the tls.mode of the listeners it attached to and sets tls_passthrough on the stream routes bound to a Passthrough port. Its controller populates tctx.Listeners for that, as the TCPRoute and UDPRoute ones already did. - Every matched listener on a port has to agree on the mode. A physical stream listen is either terminating or prereading, never both, so listeners that disagree fall back to terminating rather than to a guess. Within one Gateway such a port is already ProtocolConflict and attaches no routes at all. Two adjacent defects in the same code, both of which passthrough would have made visible: - every hostname produced its own StreamRoute under one name, so they all collapsed onto a single id and only the last survived. One StreamRoute now carries them all - sni for a single hostname, snis beyond that, never both, which APISIX rejects. - the StreamRoutes carried no server_port, so several listener ports fell onto one route and shared an id (the TCPRoute/UDPRoute side of this was #2802). TLSRoute now goes through the same per-port fan-out, gated by the same listener_port_match_mode. A TLSRoute with no hostnames used to produce no StreamRoute at all - attached, but unserved. It now falls back to the listener hostnames and, failing those, to the catch-all "*". Conformance: the four TLSRoute tests pinned to Passthrough are no longer skipped. Their Gateway listener is fixed at port 443, so the conformance data plane points its 443 service port at the stream tls_passthrough listen instead of the HTTP ssl listen - one port cannot serve both, and the HTTPRoute tests that would want HTTP-over-TLS there are skipped for unrelated SAN reasons. E2E adds a Passthrough spec that verifies the served chain against the backend's own CA: the gateway holds no certificate for a Passthrough listener, so a chain that validates there can only have come from the backend. Requires ADC to carry the new fields (api7/adc#618).
A TLSRoute's hostnames become the SNIs its stream routes match on, and they were used verbatim. Gateway API defines the effective hostnames as the intersection with the listener hostname, so a route attached to a narrower listener served names that listener never accepted. On one shared stream listen that is not merely over-serving. Every Gateway resolves to the same data plane, so an over-broad SNI takes that name from the route whose listener does accept it: a route with "*.example.com" attached to an "abc.example.com" listener answered every *.example.com connection, including the ones a sibling Gateway's route was there to serve. HTTPRoute has narrowed its hostnames this way since it was written - filterHostnames plus getMinimumHostnameIntersection. Both now share intersectRouteHostnames, and the TLSRoute reconciler applies it exactly as the HTTPRoute one does, translating the narrowed copy and reporting NoMatchingListenerHostname when nothing intersects. The Gateway API conformance test TLSRouteHostnameIntersection is what surfaced this; with the fix its intersections pass.
One assertion in it cannot hold here, and not for want of translating correctly. The test stands four Gateways up on port 443 with different listener hostnames; every Gateway resolves to the one data plane address and the one physical stream listen, so their SNI namespaces are shared. The Gateway whose listener carries no hostname keeps its route's "*.com" verbatim - correctly, and its own subtest depends on it - which then also answers "non.matching.com" on the address of the Gateway that should have rejected that connection. Which Gateway a connection was addressed to is not on the wire, so nothing is left to discriminate on. This is the same limitation HTTPRouteMultipleGateways is already skipped for, and it sits beside it. Every other assertion in the test passes, including the hostname intersections themselves.
The APISIX suite stops skipping the TLSRoute Passthrough tests in this series, because APISIX can serve them. The API7 gateway cannot: its stream_route schema carries `sni` only, under additionalProperties = false, and has no tls_passthrough - it predates apache/apisix#13912. A stream route carrying either `snis` or `tls_passthrough` is rejected outright. Those four tests were never skipped here and have been failing unnoticed behind continue-on-error. Skipping them with the reason recorded says what is actually missing, and they come back as soon as the gateway carries the fields.

The four TLSRoute tests this series stops skipping fail on this job, and not
in traffic - the routes never reach the data plane:
Accepted condition set to Status False with Reason SyncFailed
HTTP 400 {"code":"unrecognized_keys","keys":["tls_passthrough"],
"path":["services",0,"stream_routes",0]}
ADC learned `snis` and `tls_passthrough` in api7/adc#618, which no release
carries yet. `kind-load-adc-image` pulls `adc:$(ADC_VERSION)` and retags it as
`:dev`, so the Makefile default 0.29.0 is what ran.
Both e2e workflows already set `ADC_VERSION: dev` at the workflow level; this
job had it commented out, and in the "Build images" step env, where it could
never have reached `kind-load-adc-image` anyway. Declared the same way as the
siblings instead.
The API7 gateway's stream_route schema carries `sni` only, under
additionalProperties = false, and has no tls_passthrough, so the route the spec
applies never reaches the data plane. The control plane rejects it first:
PUT /apisix/admin/stream_routes/... 400
can not create a Stream Route to the HTTP Service
Same gap the api7ee conformance suite now declares, so the spec declares it the
same way rather than failing the job. The APISIX providers keep running it.
Backport of the same fix in apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882, where this spec failed on every attempt across both providers until it landed. The tunnel was forwarded alongside the HTTP ones when the data plane was deployed, and handed to the spec as-is. Two problems with that. The forward can die mid-flight - inside the pod's netns: an error occurred forwarding <local> -> 9120: ... read tcp4 127.0.0.1:...->127.0.0.1:9120: read: connection reset by peer after which the local end is simply gone, and every request reports dial tcp [::1]:<local>: connect: connection refused which points at the wrong layer: a reset rather than ECONNREFUSED means the data plane listened and hung up, and the stream route synced for it is correct. What makes the far end reset is not established, and this does not guess at it. And checking the forward with a bare TCP dial proves nothing, because kubectl port-forward accepts locally first and only then tries to proxy. So the tunnel is now proven the way the spec uses it - a real handshake for the SNI - and an attempt that cannot complete one closes the forward and builds another. It is also forwarded on demand: createDataplaneTunnels runs for every spec in the suite, so one consumer was costing ~118 forwards. tlsPassthroughTunnel is byte-identical to the upstream version; the HTTP/2 tunnel this fork carries is kept alongside.

master's #484 landed the per-listener-port StreamRoute work this series also carried, extracted as buildL4StreamRoutes and now returning an error. Resolved onto master's version, which makes this file the same shape as the upstream PR: - TLSRoute builds one set of stream routes per rule carrying every SNI, instead of master's loop over hostnames. buildL4StreamRoutes names routes by rule and port only, so N hostnames produced N sets per port sharing one ID and only the last survived - master serves the last hostname on every port and loses the rest. - Dropped l4StreamRoutePorts, which master superseded by inlining. - Dropped TestTranslateTLSRouteServerPort from tlsroute_test.go. master's l4route_serverport_test.go covers the same ground across eight listener modes, including cases this one did not have.
… scaffold
Three findings from the PR review, all confirmed in the code.
**A rejected parentRef widened the hostname intersection.**
ParseRouteParentRefs returns a context per parentRef whether or not it was
accepted, and a rejected one carries no matched listener - `Listener` nil,
`Listeners` empty, `ListenerName` empty - so listenersForGatewayContext falls
through to its last branch:
```go
return gateway.Gateway.Spec.Listeners
```
every listener on that Gateway. A hostname only that Gateway accepts therefore
survived intersectRouteHostnames and, for a TLSRoute, became an SNI served
through the parentRef that *was* accepted. Only accepted contexts may widen the
set now. This is pre-existing behaviour of filterHostnames for HTTPRoute, which
this series extended to TLSRoute by sharing the helper; a test covers both the
union and the minimum-intersection branch.
**The passthrough tunnel ignored the configured kubeconfig.**
It built fresh `NewKubectlOptions("", "", ns)` while every other dataplane
tunnel is forwarded with the scaffold's own options, so a run that sets a
kubeconfig or context would have targeted the ambient cluster instead.
**An additional gateway dropped a ServiceHTTPSTargetPort override.**
CreateAdditionalGatewayWithOptions copies the HTTP and HTTPS port overrides but
not the target port, so an additional gateway stayed on 9443 and could not be
pointed at the tls_passthrough listen.
ADC 0.29.0 rejects both fields outright, so a multi-host or Passthrough
TLSRoute fails to sync on the default path:
HTTP 400 {"code":"unrecognized_keys","keys":["tls_passthrough"],
"path":["services",0,"stream_routes",0]}
CI was unaffected because both e2e workflows and now the conformance one set
ADC_VERSION=dev, but anything using the Makefile default - a local `make
e2e-test`, or a deployment built from it - hits this.
0.31.0 is the first release containing api7/adc commit 63a09371 (feat(core):
support snis and tls_passthrough configurations for stream route); verified
with `gh api repos/api7/adc/compare/63a09371...v0.31.0` reporting behind_by 0.
So that this test reads the same in both repositories: the two keep these hostname tests in differently named files with different local helpers, and the test body no longer depends on either.

The gap does not exist. api7/api7-ee-3-gateway#2173 forward-ported TLS passthrough on 2026-09-07, 29 seconds after the upstream apache/apisix#13912 it mirrors, so the gateway has carried `snis`, `tls_passthrough` and the mutual-exclusion constraint on stream_route since ten days before this series was opened: $ git log -1 --format='%ci %s' 62bca1d2 2026-09-07 14:52:11 +0800 feat(stream): support TLS passthrough on the stream proxy (#2173) I read the schema off a checkout that was not on master and concluded the fields were missing, without checking the ref. The api7ee failure I attached to that conclusion was a different thing entirely - `can not create a Stream Route to the HTTP Service`, about the service type, and a retry in the same run succeeded - so it was never evidence for a missing field. Both skips are therefore removed, and the Passthrough e2e spec is now identical to the upstream one. TLSRouteHostnameIntersection stays skipped for the reason the APISIX suite already records: every Gateway resolves to one data plane address and one physical stream listen, so their SNI namespaces are shared.
The api7ee e2e leg failed in tlsPassthroughTunnel:
data plane service has no tls-passthrough port
The gateway has carried TLS passthrough since api7/api7-ee-3-gateway#2173, but
only manifests/apisix.yaml was given the listen; manifests/dp.yaml, which the
API7 data plane is deployed from, never got it. So the capability was there and
the test environment had no port to reach it on.
Added the same three pieces this series added to the APISIX manifest - the
stream_proxy listen, the container port and the Service port - so the spec
exercises passthrough on this provider rather than being skipped for it.
Also reworded the TLSPassthrough doc comment, which said APISIX "only consults
it on a stream listen configured with both tls and tls_passthrough". That is
accurate - stream_tls_route_phase, the only reader of the field, is the preread
phase of a mixed listen - but it reads as though both have to be set for
passthrough to work at all, which a review took it to mean.
A review found that `appendListeners` keyed the aggregate by name and port, and
that this slice spans every Gateway the route attaches to - so the conventional
"tls" listener on 443 that two Gateways both declare collapsed to whichever
parentRef happened to be processed first, taking its hostname and its tls.mode
with it. This series reads both of those per port, so the order decided what
the translator saw.
Upstream had already fixed it, by dropping de-duplication altogether:
```go
// appendListeners appends listeners without de-duplication.
// Route translation aggregates listeners across multiple Gateways, and listener
// names are only unique within a single Gateway.
func appendListeners(target []gatewayv1.Listener, source ...gatewayv1.Listener) []gatewayv1.Listener {
return append(target, source...)
}
```
Taken verbatim, along with its table test, rather than inventing a wider key
here - duplicates are harmless downstream (`listenerPortSet` is a set,
`tlsRouteSNIs` de-duplicates the hostname fallback) and this keeps the two
repositories identical.
tlsPassthroughTunnel forwards a new port every call and overwrites the stored handle. Tunnels.Close only knows about the one currently stored, so a spec that built a second client - one per SNI, say - left the first kubectl port-forward running until the process exited.
The api7ee conformance suite failed every TLSRoute test, with the data plane
refusing the handshake:
tcp.go:99: client could not connect: remote error: tls: internal error
The TLSRoute tests pin their Gateway listener to port 443 and dial the Gateway
address there, so 443 has to reach the stream tls_passthrough listen. The
APISIX suite redirects it with ServiceHTTPSTargetPort: 9120; this one still had
443 going to the HTTP ssl listen, which terminates and holds no certificate for
the SNI the tests use - hence the alert from the server side rather than any
routing failure.
The option did not exist on this path: API7DeployOptions had no target port and
dp.yaml hard-coded targetPort: 9443. Both now carry it, defaulting to 9443 so
nothing else changes, and the conformance suite sets 9120.
TLSRouteTerminateSimpleSameNamespace is skipped here for the reason the APISIX
suite already records - it needs a standalone Gateway with no GatewayProxy to
reach Accepted=True - which holds on this provider too, and a 443 pointed at a
prereading listen could not serve it in any case.
These tests failed on master as well (five of them; this branch already skipped
one), so this is not a regression being fixed but a gap the series exposes by
running them.
A TLSRoute's SNIs were computed once for the whole route and handed to every per-port stream route. A port then answered hostnames only another port's listener had accepted, and a port whose listener carries no hostname lost its catch-all as soon as a listener elsewhere named one - the fallback skipped hostname-less listeners and only reached "*" when no listener had a hostname at all. Each stream route now derives its SNIs from the listeners on its own port. Narrowing a route hostname against the listeners also kept only the first intersection, because the lookup returned a single "smallest intersection". A route whose wildcard covers two same-port listeners was emitted for one of them and the other's traffic was dropped. Every intersection is now collected and de-duplicated, which fixes the same gap for HTTPRoute. The hostname matchers move to internal/controller/utils so the translator can share them instead of re-implementing wildcard matching, and the Gateway API doc records that the ProtocolConflict check for mixed tls.mode is scoped to one Gateway.
The ProtocolConflict check is per Gateway and tlsPassthroughOnPort sees only the listeners the route itself matched, so the fallback to Terminate covers one route attached to disagreeing parents - not two routes attached to one disagreeing Gateway each. Those are translated for their own listener's mode, and only one of the two is the mode the stream listen was configured with. The controller does not own that listen, so it can neither detect nor resolve the conflict; say so instead of promising a fallback that does not happen.
A single handshake check is not enough: APISIX standalone workers apply the pushed config independently, so a later connection can still be reset by a worker that has not loaded the stream route yet. The reset kills kubectl port-forward and every retry then hits "connection refused". Verify the tunnel with a handshake on each dial and rebuild it on failure.

Backport of apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2882.
A TLSRoute whose Gateway listener is in
mode: Passthroughwas translated the same way asTerminate: the data plane terminated TLS, matched the SNI and re-encrypted to the upstream. The stream proxy can now preread the SNI from theClientHelloand forward the connection untouched (apache/apisix#13912, forward-ported to the gateway in api7/api7-ee-3-gateway#2173), so Passthrough is translated as what it is.What came across
api/adc/types.gosnisandtls_passthroughonStreamRouteinternal/adc/translator/tlsroute.gointernal/adc/translator/tcproute.gointernal/controller/tlsroute_controller.go,utils.gointernal/controller/utils/hostname.gotest/conformance/,test/e2e/Defects fixed along the way
Multiple hostnames collapsed into one route.
ComposeStreamRouteNamedid not vary per hostname, so a TLSRoute with N hostnames produced N stream routes sharing one ID and only the last survived. They are now one route per port carryingsnis.Hostnames were not intersected with the listener. A route with
*.example.comattached to anabc.example.comlistener was programmed as*.example.com. Every Gateway shares one physical stream listen here, so it also answered names belonging to a sibling Gateway's route.Rejected parentRefs widened the intersection.
ParseRouteParentRefsreturns a context per parentRef, accepted or not, and a rejected one carries no matched listener — solistenersForGatewayContextfell back to every listener on its Gateway.acceptedParentRefskeeps only the accepted ones, and returns the input unchanged when nothing was accepted, since the route is not translated in that case.appendListenersde-duplicated across Gateways. The fork keyed by{name, port}, which collapses the conventionaltls:443that two Gateways both declare even when they disagree on hostname ortls.mode. Upstream had already removed de-duplication entirely; this takes the upstream form plus itsTestAppendListeners.Every port got the route-wide SNI set. A port then answered a hostname only another port's listener had accepted, and a port whose listener carries no hostname lost its catch-all as soon as a listener elsewhere named one. Each stream route now derives its SNIs from the listeners on its own port.
The hostname intersection kept only the first match. A route whose wildcard covers two same-port listeners was emitted for one of them and the other's traffic was dropped. Every intersection is now collected and de-duplicated, which fixes the same gap for HTTPRoute.
Conformance
The TLSRoute tests now pass on the api7ee provider as well — master fails five of them. The root cause was not the gateway: the conformance suite dials the Gateway address on 443, and 443 was still mapped to the HTTP ssl listen, so every TLSRoute test died in the handshake with
remote error: tls: internal errorand timed out at 30s. The data plane now templates its HTTPS target port (framework.API7DeployOptions.ServiceHTTPSTargetPort,targetPortintest/e2e/framework/manifests/dp.yaml, default 9443) and the api7ee suite points it at the passthrough listen on 9120, whichdp.yamlnow opens.Passing:
TLSRouteSimpleSameNamespace,TLSRouteInvalidBackendRefNonexistent,TLSRouteInvalidBackendRefUnknownKind, and the TLSRouteListener*tests. Skipped with the reason recorded:TLSRouteHostnameIntersection(four Gateways on one address share one SNI namespace — the same limitHTTPRouteMultipleGatewaysis skipped for),TLSRouteTerminateSimpleSameNamespaceandTLSRouteMixedTerminationSameNamespace(both provisional).GatewayModifyListeners,HTTPRouteMultipleGatewaysandHTTPRouteNoBackendRefsstill fail on the api7ee provider. All three fail on master too and are untouched by this PR.e2e
The Passthrough spec — a
Passthroughlistener on 9120 in front of the e2e nginx, with the client verifying the served chain against the backend's CA — runs with noSkipand passes on all three providers (apisix,apisix-standalone,api7ee). The gateway holds no certificate for a Passthrough listener, so a chain that validates there can only have come from the backend.Its tunnel is built on demand rather than in
createDataplaneTunnels, and verified with a real TLS handshake for the SNI the stream route matches on: a bare TCP dial cannot validate akubectl port-forward, which accepts locally before it tries to proxy. The previous tunnel is closed before being replaced.Dependencies
