It is used to open, close and route ports to an internal ip! It is used by games consoles to allow other games consoles to connect to their web ip addres(eg 45.12.73.3) and when it is connected to a router with more than one device it uses port forwarding like this. Port 567 will be forwared to port 697 on my xbox or for technical people 94.75.34.1:567 will goto 192.168.1.3:697. It also allows you to close ports so for security closing port 21 and 80 are recommended. Open ports are ports that allow others to connect to them closed ports are ports that don't allow people to connect. It is mainly used by PC and servers as games consoles don't need to do it if it is the only device on the network but PC do for security.
