4.2.6.6.3.3.2UDP Port Ranges

The UDP Port Ranges menu enables defining port ranges to be used as priority classifiers when the UDP/TCP Port Ranges Prioritization Option is set to either Enable Only for UDP or Enable for both UDP and TCP. All packets whose destination is included in the list will be routed to the High queue. All other packets will be routed to the Low queue (unless they were assigned a High priority by another classifier).

The UDP Port Ranges menu includes the following options:

„UDP RTP/RTCP Prioritization: Voice over IP is transported using Real Time Protocol (RTP). The Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) is used to control the RTP. When an application uses RTP/RTCP, it chooses for destination ports consecutive numbers: RTP port is always an even number, and the port with the odd number following it will be assigned to RTCP.

If the administrator selects to prioritize only the RTP packets, then all the packets with an odd numbered destination port will always have Low priority. The packets with an even number for destination port will receive High priority, if the port number is included in the specified ranges.

If the administrator selects to prioritize both RTP and RTCP packets, then all packets whose destination port number is included is in the specified ranges will receive High priority.

The available options are:

‘RTP & RTCP

‘RTP Only

The default is RTP & RTCP

„Add UDP Port Ranges: This option enables adding UDP port ranges to the list of priority port numbers. The list can include up to 64 ranges. It is possible to add discrete port numbers and/or ranges. In ranges, a hyphen is used to separate between start and end port numbers. A comma is used to separate between entries.

For example: 8900,9000-9005,9010,9016-9017.

„Delete UDP Port Ranges: This option enables deleting UDP port ranges from the list of priority port numbers. It is possible to delete discrete port numbers and/or ranges. In ranges, a hyphen is used to separate between start and end port numbers. A comma is used to separate between entries.
