A port is a number assigned to a specific process or sevice in the network to help comuters sort and direct network traffic correctly. It works on Layer 4(Transport Layer) of the OSI model and works with protocals such as TCP and UDP. They enable the simultaneous operaton of multiple network services on a single IP adress. When a client application initiates a connection, it specifies the destination port number corresponding to the desired service. Client applications are those who request data or services while server applications respond to those requests and provide the data or services. The OS(opperating system) then directs the incoming traffic to the correct application based on this port number. eg. a user accesses a website: the user’s browser initiates a connection to the server's IP address on port 80(which is designated for HTTP). The server, listening on this port, responds to the request.…
