The most critical piece of information in this scenario is: "All of the incoming traffic comes from a proxy server."
It ensures that the end-user is always directed back to the specific backend server where their session data is stored.

Cookie is "saved" in HTTP headers, so no matter what IP it is (proxy in this case meaning we will have same IP) F5 will persist session based on unique cookie
