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 1

13. 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.”
