Question: What Is a Port Number?
Answer: In computer networking, a port number
is part of the addressing information used to identify the senders and
receivers of messages. Port numbers are most commonly used with TCP/IP
connections. Home network routers and computer software work with ports
and sometimes allow you to configure port number settings. These port
numbers allow different applications on the same computer to share
network resources simultaneously.Port Range Groups These are divide in 3 groups
Well known port numbers : 0 to 1023 - Only special companies like Apple QuickTime, MSN, SQL Services, Gopher Services and other prominent services have these port numbers.Ex :
