shadyabhi opened a new issue #8544:
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/issues/8544


   Relevant fields for this discussion (from 
https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/admin-guide/logging/formatting.en.html#admin-logging-fields-network)
 
   
   | Field | Source | Description |
   | --- | --- | --- |
   | chi | Client | IP address of the client’s host |
   | pps | Proxy Protocol Source IP | Source IP received via Proxy Protocol 
context from the LB to the Traffic Server |
   
   With only these relevant fields available, if a `proxy-protocol` client 
connects to ATS while passing the right `proxy-protocol` headers, both fields 
`chi` and `pps` are updated with the `true client IP address`, ie, the IP 
address of the user-agent. (meaning a typical user on the internet)
   
   This means we lose the ability to identify the `IP address` of the previous 
`hop` when proxy protocol is used. Is there a need for adding a new field that 
signals the IP address of the `previous hop` when proxy protocol is used?
