traffic flow between IPI, application security policy, bot detection, DoS protection, irule, and geolocation

Hi ,

I think this picture explains it good.

This picture assumes that IPI is working in L3 mode. If IPI is working in L7 mode, it is later in the chain.

iRule are difficult, because they operate on events, which can be IPI events, bot defense actions, ASM events, L7DOS events and so on. So they can happen at every point in this chain.

Does this answer your question?
