Dropbox LAN Sync Basic Netowrk Information
Dropbox LAN Sync uses TCP & UDP ports 17500.
The TCP port 17500 is used for Dropbox data transfers and the UDP port is used for Dropbox discovery.
The Linux services lists TCP port 17500 as being "db-lsp" which stands for "Dropbox LanSync Protocol".
The Linux services lists UDP port 17500 as being "db-lsp-dsc" which stands for "Dropbox LanSync Protocol Discovery".
On Linux machines, these values are determined by the /etc/services file, which describes most basic IP protocol port information.
Using the Linux shell command netstat -vat will show these values if they are enabled. Netstat -vatn shows the same info but with numeric ports instead of the "dsp_lsp" labels.
1Password data can route IP packets through the Dropbox protocols and ports, to access 1Password data using the Chrome web browser.
More information on the details on this setup once I've had the time to test the setup out, as this will be very usefull to not only me, but everyone else who prefers to run Linux desktop on thier computers! :-)
