We should be able to, especially if you are using HTTP binding.

 

 

If not, still probably yes. LTM has specific options for handling both XML and SIP now, not sure if those can be directly leveraged, but if not, you should be able to manage traffic using the more generic transport layer options (including iRules for persistence etc if necessary) that we previously leveraged to manage those protocols. We may also be able to offload encryption.
