NimbostratusPlain old NAT and SIP
Hello,
What would be the easiest way to just NAT SIP traffic without terminating SIP connection on F5 as suggested in their official document here https://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/load-b...

EmployeeA simple NAT configuration would work just fine.
But you could do better with an actual virtual server configuration. As a full proxy, the F5 will always proxy layer 4 (TCP and UDP), but beyond that layers 5 and up are controlled by profiles that either manage the traffic or simply pass them through. A simple virtual server listening on port 5060 or 5061, with nothing more than a pool assigned also pointing to port 5060 or 5061 backend services will not terminate or touch the SIP traffic passing through it.
