Port Triggering
Certain applications, such as WAN network games, video conferences, and
network calls, require multiple connections. Because of the firewall setting, these
applications cannot work on a simple NAT router. However, certain special
applications enable the applications to work on a NAT router. When an application
sends a connection request to a trigger port, the corresponding ports are open, for
later connection and service provision.
