Jason,

When I try to TFTP from the inspecting router it fails, and I get this
output from "debug ip inspect udp"

Nov 8 21:06:11.858: FIREWALL UDP: sis 45C264CC pak 4539FC90 SIS_OPENING
UDP packet (172.110.123.2:54326) => (172.110.123.1:69) datalen 16
Nov 8 21:06:15.858: FIREWALL UDP: sis 45C264CC pak 4539F588 SIS_OPENING
UDP packet (172.110.123.2:54326) => (172.110.123.1:69) datalen 16

It looks to me like the "udp router-traffic" option does not take the
tftp dynamic ports into account

In my case 172.110.123.2 is the source and 123.1 is the tftp destination.

When I tftp THROUGH the inspecting router I get this output from debug
ip inspect tftp:

Nov 8 21:14:42.076: TFTP DATA Channel 45C26C4C state SIS_OPENING
Nov 8 21:14:42.076: TFTP Code : DATA, packet length : 516
Nov 8 21:14:42.080: TFTP DATA Channel 45C26C4C state SIS_OPEN
Nov 8 21:14:42.080: TFTP Code : ACK

But when I tftp FROM the inspecting router I get no response from debug
ip inspect tftp.

It looks to me like the router treats self-generated tftp as if it was
regular UDP, and does not take dynamic ports into account.
