Hi All,

I am measuring the diffrent kinds of traffic like FTP traffic , WWW 
traffic , Mail Traffic etc. at my gateway. The method which I have chosen 
is , each of these services runs under different standard ports like 20 
,21 for FTP , 80 for WWW etc.  using the Linux IPCHAIN utility. I am 
getting the values correctly, i.e. it is giving some exact values when I 
tranfers a file or access  any WWW server.

Now my problem is , when a ftp or www clients gets connected to the ftp 
or WWW server , it send a request to that particular port, and that 
server will assign a different port not that particular port. At my 
gateway I am listening to that particular port not the server assigned 
ports and I am getting the exact values. Now the question is how this has 
been happening. I am listing at that pericular ports, and servers will 
assining different ports, How this mapping is done internally ? please 
direct me some good URLs.

Thank you very much in advance

Regards

Venkat Hallale
