Limewire Ports

March 22, 2010 in Uncategorized | No comments

In computer networking, the protocols of the Transport Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite, most notably the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), but also other protocols, use a numerical identifier for the data structures of the endpoints for host-to-host communications. Such an endpoint is known as a port and the identifier is the port number. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses.

Well-known ports: 0–1023

According to IANA "The Well Known Ports are assigned by the IANA and on most systems can only be used by system (or root) processes or by programs executed by privileged users. Ports are used in the TCP to name the ends of logical connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined. This list specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port. The contact port is sometimes called the "well-known port"."

Registered ports: 1024–49151

Only those ports that are commonly used are listed; for full list, refer to the IANA port list.

When investigating TCP traffic, be careful not to confuse the client and server ports. The client port is incremental, typically beginning at 1024 at boot time and wrapping at 4096. If the port you are investigating is in the lower part of this range, it may be a client port. Stateful firewalls identify the server port, but packet sniffers and stateless firewalls do not. For example, a packet sniffer showing a TCP packet with source port 1080 and destination port 1494 might be either the SOCKetS or Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) protocols. The only way to know for sure is to examine the initial TCP handshake.

With UDP, client port selection depends on the application and may be incremental, fixed to a nonsensical value, or fixed equal to the server port.

Dynamic and/or private ports: 49152–65535

By definition, no ports can be registered in the dynamic range.

Many Linux kernels and/or distros use 32768 to 61000. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range indicates the range in use.
