Difference between BIGIP-LTM and BIG-IP GTM
All,
I am new to F5 Load balancing GTM and LTM. I would like to know the difference between LTM and GTM and what they serve for?
Thanks

This is my hypothesis .. correct me if I'm wrong _/\_
Assume GTM1 is at DC1 & GTM2 is at DC2
When Local DNS ask for "www.example.com" IP at GTM1 (by Default DC) ... GTM 1 in DC 1 will talk with GTM 2 in DC 2 by WAN or else with protocol iQuery.
to see which data center was performing best. If DC2 is best then GTM 1 will answer Local DNS with A record of "www.example.com" of DC 2
