AppProtocol depend on Kubernetes 1.18 (opt-in) or 1.19 (on by default).
There are not any other exceptions to the 1.16+ guideline right now.

* **Q: Is SSL Passthrough supported?**
A: SSL Passthrough (wherein a Gateway routes traffic with the [Transport
Layer Security (TLS)][tls] encryption _intact_ to a backend service instead of
terminating it) is supported by the [TLSRoute][tlsroute] API. Note that SSL
Passthrough is _not_ supported by the [HTTPRoute][routes] API as it is not
possible to route based on HTTP metadata without terminating TLS. See the
[TLS Guide][tlsguide] for more details about passthrough and other TLS
configurations.
