    Ports are endpoints of communication in computer networks that identify processes, network services, and protocols at both the physical hardware level and logical software level. They provide a multiplexing service that allows multiple communication sessions to occur simultaneously for a service through a single network address using a 16-bit port number to identify the specific destination, protocol, and address combination. Common port numbers are reserved to identify standard services with the lowest 1024 ports called well-known ports for historically most used services like TCP and UDP.

    n computer networking, a port is an endpoint of communication.

    Physical as well as wireless


    connections are terminated at ports of hardware devices. At the software level, within
    an operating system, a port is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type
    of network service.
    The software port is always associated with an IP address of a host and the protocol type of the
    communication. It completes the destination or origination network address of a message. Ports
    are identified for each protocol and address combination by 16-bit unsigned numbers, commonly
    known as the port number.
    Ports provide a multiplexing service for multiple services or multiple communication sessions at
    one network address. Specific port numbers are commonly reserved to identify specific services.
    The lowest numbered 1024 port numbers are called the well-known port numbers, and identify
    the historically most commonly used services. In the client–server model of application
    architecture, a multiplexing service is established, so that multiple simultaneous communication
    sessions may be initiated for the same service. The most commonly used protocols that use ports
    are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
