thanks for your reply bhattman, as far as i know with tcp header you will need to put down IP in data field. If the client is initiating a connection it will hit the LTM and in turn LTM as we know will change the IP so the server will see the source as LTM rather than actual client subnet. i had a confirmation from our local F5 guy informing with net.tcp LTM will not be able to forward source IP as it will be a raw tcp session. I would like to raise this with F5 product team to test and come up with a solution that could forward source IPs for this sort of connections same as X-Forwarded-For HTTP.
