RE: TFTP QOS with NBAR

I am not too sure but i think this has beed fixed in newer codes.

 I ran into this issue in the past, where NBAR would classify tftp packets as
unknown because after the initial setup on a standard port (port 69), the
server replies to the client to setup the connection on a random transfer
identifier (TID).
The problem is that this TID is passed down to the datagram layer and used as
the port number (random ports number) thus confusing Nbar.

I havent tested this recently though.
