F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi For the case where multiple identical headers (e.g. X-FORWARDED-FOR) accumulate as a request passes through a series of entities ( e.g. clients, forward-proxies, CDNs, reverse-proxies, & servers ) : X-FORWARDED-FOR 10.10.20.1 X-FORWARDED-FOR 199.16.144.5 X-FORWARDED-FOR 204.15.0.249 Does the request include timestamp data for each header added ? If BIG-IP adds a header , does it record the timestamp somewhere ?

no, header insertion like this is just the header insertion. if you want a timestamp added you should do that in a different header.

BIG-IP : header added timestamp

F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi

For the case where multiple identical headers (e.g. X-FORWARDED-FOR) accumulate as a request passes through a series of entities ( e.g. clients, forward-proxies, CDNs, reverse-proxies, & servers ) :

X-FORWARDED-FOR 10.10.20.1
X-FORWARDED-FOR 199.16.144.5
X-FORWARDED-FOR 204.15.0.249

Does the request include timestamp data for each header added ?

If BIG-IP adds a header , does it record the timestamp somewhere ?
