For example, if a new incoming FTP session arrives at the router, the router needs to know
which server is responsible for this traffic. The Port Forwarding rules tell the router which
server should get this traffic based on the incoming port number. To use port forwarding, you
use static IP addresses for the computers (servers) to which the traffic will be forwarded to.
