Port triggering is a configuration option on a NAT-enabled router that controls communication between internal and external host machines in an IP network. It is similar to port forwarding in that it enables incoming traffic to be forwarded to a specific internal host machine, although the forwarded port is not open permanently and the target internal host machine is chosen dynamically.
Port forwarding via NAT router. In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall.
IANA is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS root, IP addressing, and other protocol resources. This includes the registration of commonly used TCP and UDP port numbers for well-known internet services. The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the well-known ports, the registered ports, and the dynamic or private ports.
The label edge routers at the edges of an MPLS cloud map between the end-to-end identifier, such as an IP address, and a link-local label. At each MPLS hop, there is a forwarding table that tells the label-switched router which outgoing interface is to receive the MPLS packet, and what label to use when sending the packet out that interface.
Such short-lived ports are allocated automatically within a predefined range of port numbers by the IP stack software of a computer operating system. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) typically use an ephemeral port for the client -end of a client ...
In computer networking, dynamic routing (DR), also called adaptive routing (AR), [1] [2] is a process where a router can forward data via a different route for a given destination based on the current conditions of the communication circuits within a system. [3]
Port Control Protocol (PCP) is a computer networking protocol that allows hosts on IPv4 or IPv6 networks to control how the incoming IPv4 or IPv6 packets are translated and forwarded by an upstream router that performs network address translation (NAT) or packet filtering.
Multiple IPv6 addresses can be entered, as shown in the following example which uses a long command, not shown for brevity. The first two rows show that 3 of the entered addresses are in a /33 range, while 72 are in a /64. Blocking the /33 would affect 2G /64, that is, over 2 billion /64 allocations, but would block only 3 of the given addresses.
