Port Range Setting for Legacy Networks
Enterprise Edge uses UDP port ranges to provide high priority to VoIP packets in
existing legacy IP networks. These same port ranges must be reserved and set to
high priority on all routers that an administrator expects to have QoS support.
Reserving port ranges is not required for DiffServ networks.
You can select any port ranges that are not used by well-known protocols or
applications.
Each H.323 or VoIP RTP flow uses two ports. The total number of UDP port
numbers to be reserved depends on how many concurrent RTP flows are expected
to cross a router interface. In general:
• Backbone routers reserve more ports than edge routers.
• Edge routers’ port ranges are a subset of the backbone router port ranges.
• Add UPP 5000 to high priority.
• Enterprise Edge’s port ranges are a subset of the remote router’s port ranges.
• You must reserve two ports for each voice call you expect to carry over the
WAN. You need two ports for each video session if it is given premium
treatment.
• You can reserve multiple discontinuous ranges. Nortel Networks requires each
range meet the following conditions:
- Each range must start with an even number.
- There must be an even number of ports in a range.
See Appendix B: Setting Up Remote Routers on page 167 for additional
information on setting UDP port ranges for remote routers.
