How to configure a port range for RTMP

[Wuzuhwuzuh]

I’m using Flex version 2 on Windows XP. I’ve
created a test that opens a connection over RTMP. The server
accepts connections on port 2037 and then seems to spawn a new
connection for each client on a different port.

After server startup Netstat shows the connection below
(ns02dt00223 is the network name of my laptop):



TCP ns02dt00223:2037 ns02dt00223:0 LISTENING



Then after starting a publisher on the topic and sending a
message:\



TCP ns02dt00223:2037 ns02dt00223:0 LISTENING

TCP ns02dt00223:1696 localhost:2037 ESTABLISHED

TCP ns02dt00223:2037 localhost:1696 ESTABLISHED



And after starting a listener on the topic:



TCP ns02dt00223:2037 ns02dt00223:0 LISTENING

TCP ns02dt00223:1696 localhost:2037 ESTABLISHED

TCP ns02dt00223:1720 localhost:2037 ESTABLISHED

TCP ns02dt00223:2037 localhost:1696 ESTABLISHED

TCP ns02dt00223:2037 localhost:1720 ESTABLISHED



My question is: is there some way to configure the range of
ports used for connections?

I believe this is expected and is simply how TCP works to
assign source ports

and destination ports.

Hi Peter, I think you're right. The problem is that in our
case client and server are in separate networks. In between is a
router that doesn't understand networking very well.

Thanks for the link, I'll use it as ammunition in my
discussion with our security officer.
