what ports does netflix streaming video use?

[old_forum_mrbill]

This site has a pretty comprehinsive list, but i could not find the ports to forward for netflix streaming video. Specifically i am looking for
the ports used with PS3, but netflix streams to lots of devices, including blu-ray players and computers. Of course I don't know if they ports/protocols differ from ps3 to blu-ray to computer. I looked on netflix.com and they don't say anything about what ports or protocols they use. Google search resulted in a lot of conflicting information. I hope someone reads this with netflix on ps3 that has the smarts to just look at what ports is using when streaming video. Thats above my pay grade...

I only found that it might use port 80 for Streaming Video and 443 for Activation and such..

What worked for me:

I port forwarded my router using the guide for "PS3" (found on this site).  Now, my Netflix streaming via PS3 runs noticeably quicker on wifi.  I didn't do any extra things other than follow the Static IP Address and Port Forwarding guides.  It's not as high quality as having it hard wired but it's definitely much improved compared to when I did not have the router port forwarded.
