NimbostratusHi, This is a great and very complete diagram. But I have a doubt: When a packet is processed it is first checked if an existing connection in Connection table exists, isn´t it? And it would be great if you could add the Self IPs also to you diagram and the end of it that would be the DROP.

NimbostratusHi, thank you for replying :)
When a packet is process on the BIG-IP, the secuence is:
1) Check connections in Connection Table
2) Packet Filter
3) Virtual server (following order on SOL14800) -> If VS with SNAT (process stops here). Otherwise it goes to Global SNAT.
4) SNAT
5) NAT
6) SELFIP
7) DROP
So, in your diagram the "packet filter" is process ahead the "Connection table" (what will only happen with AFM in Firewall mode)... Maybe that´s what you want to show with your diagram.. Is it?
