Port 17220: IEEE 1722 Transport Protocol for Time Sensitive Applications

Port 17220 is assigned by IANA to avtp (IEEE 1722 Transport Protocol for Time Sensitive Applications).

01 Security

Is port 17220 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 17220. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for network services services:

  • Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).
  • UDP services can be abused for DDoS amplification: rate-limit or block them at the edge.
  • Disable legacy test services that have no use in production.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 17220, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :17220'      # process listening on 17220
sudo lsof -nP -i :17220

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :17220

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 17220 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 17220
netstat -ano | findstr :17220

From another machine

nmap -p 17220 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 17220 <host>
nc -zv <host> 17220

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 17220/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 17220" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 17220 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 17220 used for?

Port 17220 is assigned by IANA to avtp (IEEE 1722 Transport Protocol for Time Sensitive Applications).

Is port 17220 TCP or UDP?

Port 17220 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 17220?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).

How do I check if port 17220 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :17220'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :17220", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :17220" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 17220 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
