	port (computing)
		In computing, a socket that enables a computer processor to communicate with an external device.
		It may be an input port (such as a joystick port), or an output port (such as a printer port), or both (an i/o port).
		Microcomputers may provide ports for cartridges, televisions and/or monitors, printers, and modems, and sometimes for hard disks and musical instruments (MIDI, the musical-instrument digital interface).

	PC World - Mobile Computing: Port Replicators
		Though there are variations, a typical port replicator is a device containing common computer ports such as parallel, serial, PS/2, and USB.
		You connect your peripherals to the port replicator, rather than to the ports on your notebook, then connect your notebook to the port replicator.
		For instance, my Dell notebook (which is the computer I use daily) hooks up to a multifunction printer, a four-port USB hub, a back-up hard drive, an external keyboard, an external trackball, and a flash memory card reader.

	Utility Computing: Any port in a storm? \| On-Demand, Grid & Utility Computing News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Given that Utility Computing is relatively new, there is ample room for dispute between suppliers eager to push the advantages of Utility Computing, and customers who may not be entirely sure what they are buying.
		Without necessarily being able to rely on empirical evidence of successful utility computing transactions over the years, many customers may find themselves simply holding their breath to see whether the model works as promised.
		In a Utility Computing arrangement, as in more conventional outsourcing models, it is important to ensure that, after the termination of the agreement, the customer is able to recoup its assets that the supplier used during the project.

		In computing, a port (derived from seaport) is usually an interface through which data is sent and received.
		For instance, a computer may have a keyboard port, into which the keyboard is connected.
		Network ports are usually numbered and a network implementation like TCP or UDP will attach a port number to data it sends; the receiving implementation will use the attached port number to figure out which computer program to send the data to.

	TCP and UDP port numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Port numbers in the range 49152-65535 are private or dynamic ports, not used by any defined application.
		Sometimes ports may be used for different applications or protocols than their official IANA designation.
		This misuse may, for example, be by a Trojan horse, or alternatively be by a commonly used program that didn't get an IANA registered port or port range.

		The Port Aggregator hardware includes dual external power supplies, two 10/100 Ethernet ports, one 10/100 monitor port and 2 MB of memory--1 MB each for A and B. The Port Aggregator passes frames transparently, regardless of whether it's powered, though the monitor port will pass frames only when turned on.
		The Port Aggregator passed all frames at 100 percent utilization and with less than 2 microseconds of latency--hardly enough to matter.
		Using SmartWindows, I tested the monitoring port's capabilities by connecting Port 1 of the SMB 600 to the Port Aggregator's Port A, Port 2 of the SMB 600 to Port B and Port 3 of the SMB 600 to the monitoring port.

		The author covers the port from the nitty gritty of designing and building custom hardware to connect to the parallel port to the higher level protocols such as the IEEE standard for daisy chain negotiation on the port.
		Many systems now include parallel ports that are register compatible with the PC parallel port from a programming point of view.
		More that that, the protocols that operate between the computer and the peripheral are standard and so something like the daisy chain protocol is relevant to any architecture that wants to use it.
