All channels are in the same port or, optionaly, some (or all) channels can be used in a SSL port.<div>You will run spice with one or two ports, considering "no ssl" and "ssl" port.</div><div><br></div>

It relates to security and opening ports on a firewall through which the Spice clients and server would communicate. I would like to know how many ports will need to be opened on a firewall to support the 6 communications channels between the Spice clients and server.<br>
<br>Excerpt from Spice for Newbies PDF.<br>--------------------------------------------------------<br><br>2.3.2.1 Channels<br>The client and server communicate via channels. Each channel type is dedicated to a specific type<br>
of data. Each channel uses a dedicated TCP socket......<br><br>The available channels are:<br>o Main - implemented by RedClient (see above).<br>o DisplayChannel - handles graphic commands, images and video streams.<br>o InputsChannel - keyboard and mouse inputs.<br>
o CursorChannel - pointer device position, visibility and cursor shape.<br>o PlaybackChannel - audio received from the server to be played by the client .<br>o RecordChannel - audio captured on the client side.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>After looking at the Spice PDFs it appears to me that 6 ports would need to be opened although the default Spice server port appears to be 5930 (just one port and not six).<br><br><br>I would like to know how many ports are required (listening) on the Spice server to handle all 6 channels (TCP sockets)? I am assuming each channel (TCP socket) requires its own port on the Spice server.<br>
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Rich<br>
