If on the ephemeral port > do we need any connection tracking enable to keep the connection alive? A downstream LDM connects to port 388 on the host running an LDM server. The server then forks an upstream LDM process that uses the same connection to send data-products to the downstream LDM. So the source port of the data-products will be 388 and the destination port with be an ephemeral on on the downstream host. > Thanks, > Doug Gaer > NWS, SRH > > -- > Douglas Gaer, ITO, SRH, 817-978-1100 x.114 Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NDJ-862794 Department: Support LDM Priority: Normal Status: Closed
