how the LTM will distinguish the traffic that is coming from Router A or router B ?

 

do you concern about return traffic from f5 to client?

 

if yes, there is feature called auto lasthop which is enabled by default. it will send return traffic to mac address it was coming from (i.e. route on f5 is not required).
