When NetScaler application switch is used as L3+ switch, information
regarding the original IP and TCP headers are lost as a new TCP
connection is created between the NetScaler and the backend server.
NetScaler provides a feature to insert in the TCP data the original data
that can then be consumed by the backend server.
Specifications and documentations from NetScaler:

When CIP is enabled on the NetScaler, then a TCP packet is inserted just after
the TCP handshake. Two versions of the CIP extension exist.
Legacy (NetScaler < 10.5)
- CIP magic number : 4 bytes
Both sender and receiver have to agree on a magic number so that
they both handle the incoming data as a NetScaler Client IP insertion
packet.
- Header length : 4 bytes
Defines the length on the remaining data.
- IP header : >= 20 bytes if IPv4, 40 bytes if IPv6
Contains the header of the last IP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
- TCP header : >= 20 bytes
Contains the header of the last TCP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
Standard (NetScaler >= 10.5)
- CIP magic number : 4 bytes
Both sender and receiver have to agree on a magic number so that
they both handle the incoming data as a NetScaler Client IP insertion
packet.
- CIP length : 4 bytes
Defines the total length on the CIP header.
- CIP type: 2 bytes
Always set to 1.
- Header length : 2 bytes
Defines the length on the remaining data.
- IP header : >= 20 bytes if IPv4, 40 bytes if IPv6
Contains the header of the last IP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
- TCP header : >= 20 bytes
Contains the header of the last TCP packet sent by the client during TCP
handshake.
