Chapter 15 Bandwidth Management
Typically used for voice traffic or video that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter
is the variations in delay).
Typically used for "excellent effort" or better than best effort and would include
important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.
This is typically used for non-critical "background" traffic such as bulk transfers
that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users.
DESCRIPTION
This is Microsoft's online gaming service that lets you play multiplayer Xbox games
on the Internet via broadband technology. Xbox Live uses port 3074.
Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP or VoIP. Session
Initiated Protocol (SIP) is an internationally recognized standard for implementing
VoIP. SIP is an application-layer control (signaling) protocol that handles the
setting up, altering and tearing down of voice and multimedia sessions over the
Internet.
SIP is transported primarily over UDP but can also be transported over TCP, using
the default port number 5060.
File Transfer Program enables fast transfer of files, including large files that may
not be possible by e-mail. FTP uses port number 21.
Electronic mail consists of messages sent through a computer network to specific
groups or individuals. Here are some default ports for e-mail:
POP3 - port 110
IMAP - port 143
SMTP - port 25
HTTP - port 80
These programs use advanced file sharing applications relying on central servers
to search for files. They use default port 4662.
BitTorrent is a free P2P (peer-to-peer) sharing tool allowing you to distribute large
software and media files using ports 6881 to 6889. BitTorrent requires you to
search for a file with a searching engine yourself. It distributes files by corporation
and trading, that is, the client downloads the file in small pieces and share the
pieces with other peers to get other half of the file.
