Xbox UDP & TCP portlist

This is a brief list of the Xbox´s port usage:

Xbox Live ports
Protocol Soure addreess Source port Destination address Destination Port Service
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox IP 88 Xbox Live
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox IP 3074 Xbox Live
TCP Internet/any IP * Xbox IP 3074 Xbox Live
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 88 Xbox Live
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 3074 Xbox Live
TCP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 3074 Xbox Live
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 3544 Xbox Live
TCP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 80 Xbox Live / HTTP
TCP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 443 Xbox Live / HTTPS
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox 500 ISAKMP (VPN related)
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox 3544 Teredo Tunneling (IPv6 related)
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox 4500 IPsec NAT traversal (VPN related)
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 53 DNS
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 500 ISAKMP (VPN related)
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 4500 IPsec NAT traversal (VPN related)

I getting status OPEN NAT adding only the first nine lines to the ruleset and adding NAT for the inbound traffic. This should be sufficient. Outbound http and https traffic is usually allready allowed and not nessesary to add to the ruleset.

Destiny additions
Protocol Soure Destination Port Service
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox IP 1200 Destiny
UDP Internet/any IP * Xbox IP 1001 Destiny
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 1200 Destiny
UDP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 1001 Destiny
TCP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 7500-17899 Destiny
TCP Xbox IP * Internet/any IP 30000-40399 Destiny
UDP Xbox IP 1200 Internet/any IP * Destiny*

*) UDP is a connectionless protocol. I most situations the firewall “remembers” for some time the IP adress and port pairing between source and destination. If the firewall allows outbound traffic from 10.10.10.10 on any port to 20.20.20.20 on port 1200, it should allow traffic back from 20.20.20.20 port 1200 to 10.10.10.10 on the dynamic port. But in this instance, I had to specify a outbound UDP rule with source port 1200 and any destination port. Destiny is very messy portwise.
