User manual

Once you specify the port numbers, Norton Core router forwards the network traffic on the
specific port to a specific device. Norton Core blocks the inactive ports on the device thereby
providing protection against attacks through hacking techniques such as port scanning.
If you had already set up port forwarding for some devices on your network, they are
automatically listed in the Norton Core Port Forwarding screen and are discoverable by other
UPnP compatible devices. For each listed device, you can view the port range and protocol
used.

before it sends any data and verifies that data is properly received.
■ UDP: User Datagram Protocol (UDP) does not establish a connection before sending
