Port Numbers

                          Internet socket port numbers are used by protocols of the Transport Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite for the establishment of host-to-host communications.

Well-known ports


         The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 are the well-known ports. They are used by system processes that provide widely-used types of network services.

Registered ports

         The range of port numbers from 1024 to 49151 are the registered ports. They are assigned by IANA for specific service upon application by a requesting entity. On most systems registered ports can be used by ordinary users.

Dynamic, private or ephemeral ports

         The range 49152–65535 is used for custom or temporary purposes and for automatic allocation of ephemeral ports.
