port address Also referred to as TCP port
number, UDP port number, or
simply port.
A port address is an address
within a host that is used to
differentiate between multiple
communication endpoints with
the same internet address and
protocol. A port address is
associated with a particular
service. Well known port numbers
are defined by RFC 923, “Assigned
Numbers.”
For example, if your local address
is listed as 192.6.23.3.1023, then
.1023 is the port address.
