Which mode on a Citrix ADC can a Citrix Administrator utilize to avoid asymmetrical packet flows and multiple route/ARP lookups?
MAC-based forwarding (MBF) is used in Citrix ADC to ensure that packets are forwarded based on the source MAC address instead of the routing table, which helps avoid asymmetrical packet flows and multiple route/ARP lookups. This mode is specifically designed to address the concerns mentioned in the question, making it the correct choice.
