| | TCP port numbers - a Whatis.com definition - see also: well-known port numbers, contact port numbers, service contact ... |
 | | The well-known port numbers are the port numbers that are reserved for assignment by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for use by the application end points that communicate using the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). |
 | | For example, a remote job entry application has the port number of 5; the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) application has the port number of 80; and the Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3) application, commonly used for e-mail delivery, has the port number of 110. |
 | | The IANA list of port numbers, including the well-known port numbers, is still apparently the most complete list. |
