NimbostratusPacket flow - order of NAT, SNAT, routing etc.
I am new to F5 LTM, and is looking for some documentation (diagram) on the packet flow; how and in which order packets are processed in regards to NAT, SNAT, routing etc. from when a packet enters an interface to it exits an interface.
I have searched Google, F5 website and this community but can't seem to find anything on this subject.

Note I'm working on an up to date flow diagram (I'll do a few more based on different profiles), would love some feedback: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/tcp-traffic-path-diagram
Carlande_DesarmHi guys, somewhere in the documentations it is said that SNAT is preferred over NAT and somewhere else it mentions reversely that NAT is preferred over SNAT... like in this article: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K9038
which point is correct then? please clarify.
