The Cf-Ray header is also sent to upstream origins and may be modified to reflect the connecting data center. This occurs when a request is routed through [Argo Smart Routing](/argo-smart-routing/) or [Argo Tiered Caching](/cache/how-to/tiered-cache/). In such cases, the three-letter code in the Cf-Ray header will indicate the data center connecting to the origin, not the ingress data center.
