Ports for dedicated server

[benu 1]

I have been thinking about this several times in the last year or so...

In the readme it says that ofp only needs 2302/udp INCOMING as default server port and 2303/udp INCOMING for gamespy (plus the outgoing replies, which can be handled by starteful firewalls without additional rules).

But i noticed lots of traffic in the whole 2200-2400 udp port range although i am not 100% sure if this caused by the ofp server. But as i have no other services running in that range and as this is part of the "direct play" range of ports i am guessing it is ofp doing this... Can some other admin confirm/deny this (cause it could also be some other box in my subnet doing this)?

Also netstat shows that the ofp server listens on other than 2302/2303 too:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name

udp 0 0 *:2304 *:* 12345/server

udp 0 0 *:32960 *:* 12345/server

udp 0 0 *:2302 *:* 12345/server

udp 0 0 *:2303 *:* 12345/server

So what are ports 2304 and 32960 for?

Are there maybe additional ports to the ones above that ofp opens when needed? Which are those and what are they for?

Just to add some information: one of the ports seems to vary.
