When you receive a QuickTime stream that is served by an Akamai via RTP/RTSP (Real Time Transport Protocol/Real Time Streaming Protocol), a contact will be made from UDP port 2000/2001 of our server to UDP ports 6970-6999 of the client. This transaction is a legitimate RTP/RTSP connection and should not be interpreted as a UDP port scan.
