Port Triggering
Port Triggering is a special form of Port Forwarding in which it
requires an outgoing connection before allowing incoming
connections on a single or multiple port. Port Triggering is
mostly used when your computer is behind a NAT router.
requires an outgoing connection before allowing incoming
connections on a single or multiple port. Port Triggering is
mostly used when your computer is behind a NAT router.
For example, if a gaming application sends outgoing data on
ports 5000-6000 but receives the incoming data on port 111,
typically behind a NAT router the router simply drops the data
because it does not know which computer it should send
requests to. But with port triggering you can tell the router to
allow incoming data on port 111 when an outgoing data sends it
through ports 5000-6000. It gives more flexibility than static port
forwarding because you don't need to set it up for a specific
computer.
