What maps port described as Teredo?

I've looked at upnp in router and i saw something unknown.
InternalPort:54172
ExternalPort:54172
Protocol:UDP
Description:Teredo
I'm using ubuntu and i don't know which application maps this port.

sudo netstat -tlnpu

Teredo Tunneling Protocol is a network protocol that lets you route IPv6 packets across an IPv4 network. This lets a PC with an IPv6 address to talk to a server running IPv6, even if some of the routers in between the two only understand IPv4.

It's unlikely to be an individual application using this, it's something the network stack of the OS is likely to supply when it's needed without the application really knowing that it's being used.

In your Ubuntu use command sudo netstat -tlnpu to see the list of applications currently bound to some port. See the Local address column, find there the 5147 or 54172 and see from PID/Program name column, what is the program using that port.

Or try sudo netstat -tlnpu | grep 5417 for avoiding the eye-strain caused by the potentially long list ... :-)

Can you copypaste the output of that sudo netstat -tlnpu? – Janne Pikkarainen – 2010-10-29T10:07:21.667

i've put it to the question – kravemir – 2010-10-29T10:18:30.373

There is a Teredo client called Miredo in Ubuntu but it doesn't use uPnP. Microsoft Windows Vista and later will create this port-mapping.
