Depending on protocol, buffering, windowing, filters, etc. there may be a considerable delta between time_to_last_upstream_rx_byte and this field. Note also that this is an approximate time. In the current implementation it does not include kernel socket buffer time. In the current implementation it also does not include send window buffering inside the HTTP/2 codec. In the future it is likely that work will be done to make this duration more accurate.

Additionally, the same caveats apply as documented in time_to_last_downstream_tx_byte about not accounting for kernel socket buffer time, etc.

But it can be a CE Site, if the endpoint is discovered in CE. Or another RE, if the endpoint discovered in that RE is used.
duration_with_data_tx_delay	string	last_downstream_tx_byte - first_upstream_tx_byte	Indicates how much "time" it took to process the request/response inside XC LB. (like eg WAF, API detection, service policy, Bot detection, etc if enabled) + time upstream spent to process.
duration_with_no_data_tx_delay	string	first_downstream_tx_byte - first_upstream_tx_byte	Like duration_with_data_tx_delay, except that reference is taken from the moment first byte is sent to client.
rtt_downstream_seconds	string	Round trip of connection to downstream (client).
rtt_upstream_seconds	string	Round trip of connection to the upstream/origin server.
time_to_first_downstream_tx_byte	string	Time interval between the first downstream byte received and the first downstream byte sent. There may be a considerable delta between the time_to_first_upstream_rx_byte and this field due to filters. Additionally, the same caveats apply as documented in time_to_last_downstream_tx_byte about not accounting for kernel socket buffer time, etc.
time_to_first_upstream_rx_byte	string	Time interval in seconds between the first downstream byte received and the first upstream byte received (i.e., time it takes to start receiving a response).
time_to_first_upstream_tx_byte	string	Time interval between the first downstream byte received and the first upstream byte sent. There may by considerable delta between time_to_last_rx_byte and this value due to filters. Additionally, the same caveats apply as documented in time_to_last_downstream_tx_byteabout not accounting for kernel socket buffer time, etc.
time_to_last_downstream_tx_byte	string	Time interval between the first downstream byte received and the last downstream byte sent. Depending on protocol, buffering, windowing, filters, etc. there may be a considerable delta between time_to_last_upstream_rx_byte and this field. Note also that this is an approximate time. In the current implementation it does not include kernel socket buffer time. In the current implementation it also does not include send window buffering inside the HTTP/2 codec. In the future it is likely that work will be done to make this duration more accurate.
time_to_last_upstream_rx_byte	string	Time interval in seconds between the first downstream byte received and the last upstream byte received (i.e. time it takes to receive a complete response).
time_to_last_upstream_tx_byte	string	Time interval between the first downstream byte received and the last upstream byte sent. There may by considerable delta between time_to_last_rx_byte and this value due to filters. Additionally, the same caveats apply as documented in time_to_last_downstream_tx_byte about not accounting for kernel socket buffer time, etc.
