Description: add the proxy protocol support on TCP LB in order to share the real client's real IP to origin server.
Use case:
- replace a downstream TCP LB of Cloud Service Provider by a F5 XC CE
Benefit:
- When the origin server seen by F5 XC is an Ingress Controller (IC), IC requires to know the client's real IP using proxy protocol. Example using NGINX here
- When a customer requires to offload TLS on a CE, due to legal reglementation, the reverse-proxy hosted on CE (NGINX POD) requires to know the client's real IP using proxy protocol.
