Protocol Profiles in LTM Chains

We have serveral virtual servers to publish our services to customers in Internet. Some of them have f5-tcp-mobile as Client profile because are use from mobile APPs and the rest have  f5-tcp-wan.

All of them have f5-tcp-lan-optimized as Server Profile.

In some scenarios there's a LTM outside that has PErformance Layer 4 Virtual Servers  without TLS Decryption and pools where the nodes are virtual servers that are behind a firewall.

In that case, the first Load Balancer should have client SSL Profile F5-TCP-LAN-OPTIMIZED

 

 

 Mobile Client (5G) -> INTERNET -> External LTM ( f5-tcp-mobile client profile) -> Internal LTMs ( Server Profile f5-tcp-lan-optimized) 

 

The question is: Should the server profile in the first LTM and thr Client Profile in the second LTM f5-tcp-lan-optimized or should the second LTMs have f5-tcp-mobile?
