HTML from Server 2
Source IP: 172.16.20.251:51235
XFF: 3.19.237.16
As with any HTTP application, this page is comprised of a number of different elements. First, there's the HTML that drives the whole page. There are graphical elements, too, in the form of some JPG and PNG images. The page layout is controlled with a cascading style sheet (CSS). And, if a cookie was passed to your browser from the application, a Javascript will allow you to view it.
Each of these elements are requested from the client to the BIG-IP system, and then from the BIG-IP system to the back end servers, resulting in many connections to deliver the entire page contents. These connections are load balanced across the available pool members associated with the virtual server you connected to.
The page contents shows you which server (pool member) some of the elements were served from. For example, the HTML was served from the pool member at 172.16.20.2:80. Some of the graphics display the last octet of the server they came from. The client's IP address, as seen by the server, is also displayed (172.16.20.251).
As you change various settings on your virtual server and pool configurations, some of the values shown here may also change.
