The known port numbers

Similar to IP addresses, ports are also divided into classes. There are three port ranges: the known ports, the registered ports and the dynamic / private ports.

The assignment of port numbers, the regional assignment of IP addresses and DNS root zones (Domain Name System) are managed by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). IANA also maintains a central repository for protocol names and the registry used for internet protocols.

The following table lists some of the more common, well-known port numbers.
