F5 Load Balancing UDP that needs return traffic specific port

So for incomming traffic I would like it to be something like

 

request: source:: destination::

 

This would hit the load balancer and then get forwarded to a dynamicly elastic pool of servers that any one could handle the incoming request.

 

After a bit of processing a few 100s of ms a different server than the one that recieve the message would then respond to the load balancer and the return traffic needs to use the Request Destination IP and Port like below and get forwarded back to the original requestor.

 

I have full control over the pool of services and the load balancer so I can make any chages to either as needed.

 

return/response: source:: destination::

 

Also one other peice to note is the ports do not change they are static and just configured once, this does not need to be for all or some range or dynamic ports.

  • FYI It changed my text

     

    request: source:{requestsourceip}:{requestsourceport} destination:{requestdestinationip}:{requestdestinationport}

     

    return/response: source:{requestdestinationip}:{requestdestinationport} destination:{requestsourceip}:{requestsourceport}

     

  • Can you explain better what you trying to do? Maybe using IP and ports as an example.

     

    F5 will take care of the port translation automatically unless you want to disable port translation.
