VPN Ports: Your Entry and Exit
IP AddressesTCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol and IP for Internet Protocol. These protocols are responsible for transporting and managing the data across the network. The IPv4 requires a 4 byte address to be assigned to each network interface card that exists on all the computers in the network where as the Ipv6 assigns a 6 byte address. IP Addresses works almost like a house address without which determining where data packets go would be impossible. |
IP CheckingThe part of the IP address that defines the network is the network ID, and the latter part of the IP address defining the host address is the host ID. By the way, if you need to find out the IP address of your device, you can do this by visiting http://ip-locations.org. It will display your current IP and location. Using portUsing this port and addressing scheme, the networking system can pass data, addressing information, and type of service information through the hardware, from one computer to another. Software portsThe network port is usually number and standard network protocols like TCP, IP, UDP attaches a port number to the data it sends. A port number is to be assigned to each message according to the TCP layer requirements. This port (logical reference) number determines the type of service provided. This software network port (address in the form of a number) is assigned to a service for communicating between a program and another program/communication system. The naming systemsThis naming system is logical and pertains to the services that carry on long term conversation. A list that specifies the port used by the server process is known as its contact port. A service contact port is defined to provide specific service to unknown callers. These software network ports also connect internal programs on the same computer. Numbers from 0 to 1023 are used to identify a network service on the internet (Internet Protocol). IP packetsEach IP packet contains a TCP or UDP header which directs applications to the appropriate application in the server. Reserved port numbers and unassigned numbers can be used by application programs. The IANAThe Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) registers ports 1024 to 49151 for the convenience of internet continuity. Port numbers from 49151 to 65535 are called dynamic ports and are private. You could look up IANA for more details on assigned port numbers. The most well-known port is 80, which identifies HTTP traffic for a Web server. The Well Known PortsThe Well Known Ports are assigned by the IANA and on most systems can only be used by system (or root) processes or by programs executed by privileged users. Port numbers are straight unsigned integer values which range up to a value of 65535. Below is a list of well known ports and their services. |
