PORT NUMBERS
A “Port” on an IP device is a concept that allows traffic to be mapped within a device’s address to a
specific process running in that device. A Port number forms part of a data packet’s IP address, but is
often set by convention, depending on the protocol that the packet uses. For example, HTTP traffic by
convention uses port
80
. If no port is specified in the IP address for HTTP traffic, port 80 will be assumed.
If a port is specified (e.g. port
8080
as in the address
192
.
168
.
100
.
33
:
8080
), the specified port will be used
instead. This allows the device to communicate on multiple protocols at the same time.
