Description

https://www.oakestra.io/docs/manuals/networking-internals/load-balancing/

In this load balancing explanation, we can add for each envelope

FROM <ip>
TO <ip>

To shocase also how the FROM ip is translated. Right now we only detail the TO (destination) IP address.

In particular, we need to show how the FROM IP, which is the namespace IP of Service A Instance 1, is translated by the proxy to the the InstanceIP of Service A Instance A. This step is done to ensure that Service B can answer back to the same instance of Service A, regardless of its position in the network.

Research direction

Add FROM and TO IP entries, showing the namespace IP translation to the InstanceIP and how the reply reaches the same Service A instance. Done means every envelope documents both directions and the translation is clear.
