NimbostratusRTP reroute
For a RTSP streaming proxy solution, would it be possible to write rules or use iControls to be able to route streaming payload (such as the RTP data) directly back to the client from the streaming server and let control data (such as RTCP) continue to go through the streaming proxy?
Can BigIp LB do such context specific rerouting of UDP packets? Any hints on where to start looking for info?

- An upcoming release, early to late spring I believe, will have support for RTSP including RTSP specific rules that will allow you to do this in a relatively straight forward manner.
It is very likely possible to do this with the current set of 9.X rules, but we have not tried it.
The relate_client and relate_server commands can be used to setup rerouting of the RTP/RTCP data. 
Stefan_HellkvisOh, thanks! Do you know where I can find information or examples about usage of relate_client and relate_server? Those are commands used in iRules are they not? I cannot find it when searching the articles on this site unfortunately.
