13. 4. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When
a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external
ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The modem router can record the IP
address of the host. When the data from the internet returns to the external ports, the
modem router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly
applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN
Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players, and so on.
