As a result, triggered ports are more secure than static (manually configured) forwarded ports. |
- | With port triggering, an application on a LAN host initiates traffic towards the Internet. The Triggering function remembers the traffic pattern. When that same pattern is identified as incoming from the WAN, the appropriate inbound port-mapping occurs. Traffic is then allowed through and forwarded to the correct host, and port. After a few minutes of inactivity, triggered ports are closed. | + | With port triggering, an application on a LAN host initiates traffic towards the Internet.
