Port Utilization in Cisco VVB

Port Utilization Table Columns

The columns in the port utilization tables in this document describe the following:

Listener (Process or Application Protocol)

A value representing the server or application and where applicable, the open or proprietary application protocol.

Listener Protocol and Port

An identifier for the TCP or UDP port that the server or application is listening on, along with the IP address for incoming connection requests when acting as a server.

Remote Device (Process or Application Protocol)

The remote application or device making a connection to the server or service specified by the protocol; or listening on the remote protocol and port.

Remote Protocol and Port

The identifier for the TCP or UDP port that the remote service or application is listening on, along with the IP address for incoming connection requests when acting as the server.

Traffic Direction

The direction that traffic flows through the port: Inbound, Bidirectional, Outbound.


Note

The operating system dynamically assigns the source port that the local application or service uses to connect to the destination port of a remote device. In most cases, this port is assigned randomly above TCP/UDP 1024.

Note

SIP signalling is possible over TCP or TLS. For RTP, underlying protocol is UDP always (not configurable). If TLS is used for SIP signalling, then the same exchanged keys will be used to encrypt and decrypt the RTP packets - for SRTP
