• Destined for port 1434
• Originating from the port whose number is specified in the dss.udpport
property in dssConfig.properties.
Note: FortiDB MA sends a packet to port 1434, which MSSQL uses in order to
return information about itself such as instance name, version, etc. (Even though
this is an MSSQL-specific port number, FortiDB MA uses it for all Auto-Discovery-
related transmissions.)
