IP::remote_addr
       Returns the IP address of the host on the far end of the connection.

SYNOPSIS
       IP::remote_addr (clientside | serverside)?

DESCRIPTION
       Returns the IP address of the host on the far end of the connection. In
       the clientside context, this is the client IP address. In the
       serverside context this is the node IP address. You can also specify
       the IP::client_addr and IP::server_addr commands, respectively.

       In BIG-IP 10.x with route domains enabled this command returns the
       remote IP address in the x.x.x.x%rd of the server or client (depending
       on the context) that is in any non-default route domain else it returns
       just the IP address as expected.

       This command is equivalent to the BIG-IP 4.X variable remote_addr.

RETURN VALUE
       IP address of the host on the far end of the connection

VALID DURING
       CLIENT_ACCEPTED, IP_GTM
