public interface EphemeralPortRangeDetector
Identifies the ephemeral port range for a given environment.
When trying to locate a "random" free port, it is important
to not allocate within the ephemeral range, since these
can be allocated at any time, and the probability of
race conditions increases as the number of recently used ports
increases, something which is quite common when running the
webdriver tests.
