VDI CITRIX deployment in BIGIP ASM

I have deployed ASM solution in my environment for BIGIP. I have to integrate VDI application with BigIP .Our BIGIP is licensed only with ASM & AFM . Current flow of application is request comes from client to Netscalar gateway .After login, Netscalar SNIP initiates request to my virtual desktops on behalf on client. Now if I want to integrate this with BIGIP as per citrix deployment guide, we will need to create two different virtual servers , one for netscalar gateway & other for virtual desktop farm.But I have some queries: 1) Citrix deployment guide is for APM & LTM , can IAPP be deployed if I just have AFM & ASM license 2)What is ICA traffic ? 3)Can DDC servers & ICA servers be same or different? 4)Will this deployment guide help in my case?

    F5 ASM is for Web (HTTP/HTTPS) traffic only.

     

    VDI traffic is a completely different protocol - it has nothing to do with ASM.

     

    You need an LTM license if you want to load-balance VDI.

     

    ICA is a proprietary Citrix protocol.
