CirrostratusTCP Traffic Path Diagram
Hi all,
It's bugged me ever since I looked at the ADF exam blueprint that there still wasn't a definitive document or diagram available that described or showed the TCP Traffic Path and Order of Operations of a packet passing through an F5. I'm aware of the BigIP Path Graph v1.7 from Red Education but that's five years old and hasn't been subject to any review. To that end I've recently started my own as you can see below.
Comments and more importantly corrections or queries are encouraged. Note as it stands I've not added many iRule events as I'd like to get the flow and order sorted first. I'm pretty sure what I've done is mostly correct but I'd love some review before I continue and finish off the server side operations. Many thanks in advance. You may need to right-click, open image/in new tab to see it full size.

Hello all,
-
anyone has a comment when it comes to NFVS vs VS? what is the precedence order for VS, NAT, SNAT, NFVS please?
-
also, 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
Please help clarifying the correct statement for these 2 points. Thanks.
