Most Common protocols that use network ports are provided by the
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) at
the Transport layer. Ports are identified for each protocol and address
combination by 16-bit unsigned numbers, commonly known as the port number.
Ports allow a single host with a single IP address to run network services.
Each port number identifies a specific service, and each host can have 65535
ports per IP address. Port use is regulated by the Internet Corporation for
Assigning Names and Numbers (ICANN). By ICANN there are three categories of
ports.
- 0 to 1023: Well Know ports
- 1024 to 49152: Registered Ports assigned to a specific service.
-
49153 to 65535: Dynamic or Private ports, can be used for other services.
