One sequence of UDP ports is the opening key and sending packets successively to them opens the TCP port and the second sequence of UDP ports is the closing key and sending packets successively to them closes the TCP port. If between two UDP packets in the sequence comes more than 16 another UDP packets, the sequence (either opening or closing) is aborted. The configuration and view of affected TCP port, opening and closing key and other firewall parameters is made throw use of sysfs.
