    Direct Routing Mode (DSR, Direct Server Return)

    Direct Routing Mode (DSR, Direct Server Return)

    The Direct Routing Mode is also known as DSR (Direct Server Return). In this mode, FortiADC receives client requests, selects a real server, and forwards the packet with the source and destination IPs unchanged. The real server responds directly to the client, bypassing FortiADC on the return path.
