1. networking A logical channel or channel endpoint in a
communications system. The Transmission Control Protocol
on Ethernet use port numbers to distinguish between
(demultiplex) different logical channels on the same networkinterface on the same computer.
Each application program has a unique port number associated
with it, defined in /etc/services or the Network InformationService "services" database. Some protocols, e.g. telnet
and HTTP (which is actually a special form of telnet) have
default ports specified as above but can use other ports as
well.
