Kong Event Gateway Listeners API
A listener represents hostname-port or IP-port combinations that connect to TCP sockets. Listeners need at least as many ports as backend brokers if you use port mapping in a Forward to Virtual Cluster policy. For SNI routing, you can route all brokers using a listener with only one port. Ports can be expressed as a single port or range. Addresses can be IPv4, IPv6, or hostnames.A listener can have policies that enforce TLS certificates and perform SNI routing. The listener runs at Layer 4 of the network stack. In Kong Event Gateway, listeners first take in the connection and then route the TCP connection to a virtual cluster based on conditions defined in listener policies.
