Hi Shen,
Requestor's IP address is provided by web-server. Load-balancer uses
web-server API to access that information. In general it is requestor's
IP address and port from which connection was made to web-server. In
case a proxy is used, it will proxy's IP address and port.
Source code of load-balancer plugin is not open-source. Users only have
access to load-balancer plugin binary.
Thanks,
Kshitiz
