Know your Computer Ports
by Jo Escotal on April 25th, 2010PORTS
PORTS - In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is an endpoint to a logical connection and the way a client program specifies a specific server program on a computer in a network.
Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are known as well-known ports (specified in RFC 1700).
Port numbers range from 0 to 65536, but only ports numbers 0 to 1024 are reserved for privileged services and designated as well-known ports. This list of well-known port numbers specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port.
