hello fellow terrorists,
i need some help. im at university, and on a pretty fast ethernet network. unfortunately, my connection for bandwith intensive games has been pretty shitty: 500-1600ping with crazy packetloss. i resigned myself that the connection was just horrible, but today i decided to call the computing services guy, and he said he could help make the connection playable.
he told me that the bad connection for bandwith intensive applications was due to the "packet-shaping" restrictions. i don't know what that means, so if anyone can explain please do.
he said that in order to fix the connection he need to know what are all of the ports the game that i'm playing uses. i looked in the Q3 documentation, but couldnt find an answer to this. does he just mean what port the server im connecting to is on? can anyone help me out with what ports q3ut uses? also he needs to know if q3ut usus UPD or TCP protocol. anyone know that information?
thanks in advance to anyone who is able to answer these questions, as i'm an urban terror addict, and i hate going for months at a time with no UrT! help a brother out!

I believe the default port number is 27960. I could be wrong, as this is only coming from memory. Can anyone confirm this?

yep, 27960 udp is default, not only for server but also for client. you can force q3 to take another port tho.

That's not really possible unless they prioritise tcp over udp, udp has much less overhead (no ACK's) than tcp.
Altho, they probably have some pretty nazi rules, like unless they "know" of a specific kind of trafic, it gets bundled with everything else, and sharing a small pipe.... that is what I would do anyway, cool sysadmin tho, not that many schools that condone playing games
