A. The Service Provider PAT Port Allocation Enhancement for RTP and RTCP feature ensures that for SIP, H.323, and Skinny voice calls. The port numbers used for RTP streams are even port numbers, and the RTCP streams are the next subsequent odd port number. The port number is translated to a number within the range specified conforming to RFC-1889. A call with a port number within the range will result in a PAT translation to another port number within this range. Likewise, a PAT translation for a port number outside this range will not result in a translation to a number within the given range.
