These properties are used to specify a range of
UDP ports for the messenger instance. From this
range, a messenger instance can select which UDP
port to use when communicating with the
NameServer. To limit the range, network
administrators can specify a Minimum and a
Maximum value.
Specifying a range using Minimum and Maximum
allows network administrators to limit the number
of UDP ports needed to be open in the firewall
when the NameServer client (in this case, the
messenger) and the NameServer are separated by
a firewall. The value for Minimum and Maximum
can be zero (0) or a number between 1024 and
65535 inclusive.
The Minimum value must be less than or equal to
the Maximum value. If both the Minimum and
Maximum values are set to zero (0), then a random
port number within the implicit fixed range is
dynamically assigned. How the port is assigned
depends on the platform on which the messenger
instance is running. If both Minimum and
Maximum values are set to the same valid port
number, then this UDP port number is used when
communicating with the NameServer.
The default value for both Minimum and
Maximum is 0.
