Networking Port Numbers |
A port number is a binary digits that helps to identify any specific process is used in network when data transmits through internet or network which arrives to the server. Such port numbers are given to specific protocols. Where a port is logical endpoint through which computers can send specific type of data traffic for other particular port. Theses well known Networking Protocol Ports are assigned by IANA (Internet Assigned Number Authority). These networking port numbers are mandatory to use. We generally uses them industries or at home also to block, restrict or only allow that port only. In daily action of networking Life there may be much need of these protocol or its numbers so that all important things can be done through these port numbers. Just learn them for basic needs whatever you may use in daily life in the networking. All important protocol's descriptions and there port number given below.

Such Protocol Port numbers are widely used in the networks to many reasons to do there job well in the industry. You can use all the ports numbers to block any port or assign any networking permission to selected members over in a network. Generally people who work in the field of networking at level of Network Administrator, Network Assistant, Network Engineer or Server Administrator need it to use for various purpose.
