Design / Traffic Flow Question

On a given connection... Think of the LTM as just another proxy. So the connection from client to LTM is always a pair of IP addresses. The connection to LTM to 'proxy' is a second connection.

 

 

Conceptually there's a single connection with an LTM in the middle doing some stuff (e.g. SNAT). But in reality the LTM is a proxy and SNAT simply means don't do anything special to 'pretend' to be the client IP when opening the second server side connection.
