Akamai uses True-Client-IP header to forward the website visitor IP. if we already enabled X-Forwarded-For, does this mean that F5 LTM will be able to capture and track Akamai’s client IP information?

    If Akamai uses a different header the F5 or your back end server can track it. If you want the F5 to translate if to X-Forwarded-For you can just specify the header in the "XFF Alternative Names" property in the HTTP profile.
