The Evolution of Full-Proxy Architectures
summary
Argues that modern full-proxy architectures terminate and reestablish connections so proxies can perform deep traffic inspection and manipulation, improving application performance, security, and flexibility. Cites legacy Gauntlet-era limits and claims the industry “comes full circle” as F5 embeds full-proxy design in its platform (Cora/F5 and application security modules). Describes concrete benefits — session termination, flow control, and application-layer policy enforcement — and says these features are live in F5 products.
