[asterisk-users] RTP port ranges

[Ron Wheeler]

I only use 100 ports as well but we have a very low call volume.
I thought that I saw that you need to allocate 2 ports for every 
simultaneous call that you need to support.
The ports are free (no charge) and are UDP not TCP so you do not lose 
any TCP ports.

I am not sure what a hacker could do if they attacked these ports.
