twamp: ignore client's port offer if outside of server testports range #29

Closed vvidic closed 6 years ago

vvidic commented 6 years ago

If the twamp-server always accepts the client suggested port number it might end up binding to a port outside of testport range as defined in the config file. Ports outside of this range might be blocked by an external firewall and cause twamp test packets to be blocked.

With this patch twping port on the server side starts to use testports 18760-19960 range:
