Understanding Jami traffic

Looking at statistics on my firewall, I’ve seen that my laptop is doing millions of connections, more that an order of magnitude compared with other computers in the house. And these computers have traffic much larger than mine in volume of bytes exchanged. I could put a network analyzer on the laptop to understand what happens, but I’d rather add a new protocol definition to the firewall so that I get better bandwidth monitoring.

To define a protocol, I need a IP protocol number (i.e TCP = 6; UDP = 17; ICMP = 1; etc.) and a port. What combinations of (protocol number x port) are used by Jami?

Thanks

Thanks for the links. It’s probably related to what I see on my firewall, event if I don’t allow UPnP. Under wireshark, when Jami is running or when I start it, I see a surging wave of UDP paquets.

I’ve also found this answer in the FAQ. I won’t probably be able to filter Jami’s traffic and display it the fireall dashboard.

I understand that using random ports and UDP paquets is better for privacy, but it makes difficult to see what happens and debug traffic.

Now, we have to wait to see if this problem disappears with Jami’s next update.
