How does proxy chaining work

I have a two apiproxies Proxy A and Proxy B, both deployed in same env. Proxy A makes LocalTargetConnection (by proxy path) to Proxy B.

How does apigee internally correlates the transactions. If Proxy A makes request to Proxy B, how is the request and response correlated.

Please guide.

Please help.

Hi @Apoorva, when using LocalTargetConnection(Proxies you want to connect in this way must be in the same organization and environment) and connecting to a proxy via path, it is assumed that the host of target proxy is same as the current proxy and hence Apigee knows the host, org, env & proxypath and uses them to make a request and respond back.

If you haven't gone through this, please have a look,
