Kafka MTLS Support?

Team,

Would like to know if MTLS is supported as a security protocol, for inter-broker communications and clients to broker communications?
Could someone throw some light?

Regards,
Sriram S

Are you asking about Multiplexed Transport Layer Security (MTLS) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexed_Transport_Layer_Security <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexed_Transport_Layer_Security>  or Mutual TLS authentication (mTLS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_authentication <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_authentication> and can you provide more information about the motivation for your question.
