Application Example: Port Triggering for Internet Relay Chat
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port numbers. Using port
triggering, you can tell the modem router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port starts a
session.
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC).Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667. The
IRC server not only responds to your originating source port but also sends an "identify" message to your computer
on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the modem router, "When you initiate a session with destination port
6667, you must also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer."
The following sequence shows the effects of this port triggering rule:
1.
You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.
