PORT TRIGGERING

Port triggering can be described as dynamic port forwarding. By
setting port triggering rules, inbound trafc arrives at a specifc
network host using ports that are diferent than those used for
outbound trafc. The outbound trafc triggers the ports where the
inbound trafc is directed.
For example, a gaming server is accessed using UDP protocol on
port 2222. The gaming server then responds by connecting the
user using UDP on port 3333, when a gaming session is initiated.
In this case, port triggering must be used since it conflicts with the
following default frewall settings:
• Firewall blocks inbound trafc by default.
• Server replies to your Fios Router IP, and the connection is not
sent back to the host since it is not part of a session.
