Hi all,
now i DO have a question. i'm reading up about ports used by TCP/UDP
protocols but im having trouble visualizing where the source port and
destination ports fit in. im thinking that the destination port (suppose
on a www, http segment) of 80, would be on the server from which we will
download the data right? and we would specify a port (called source
port) to which we want the data to come into our machine right?
but then how would the www server distinguish between many sessions if
their port is always port 80??
another example... suppose a college closes a "napster" port... can't you
just log onto the napster server using a different port from your
college? hmm.. i really confused.
could you somehow help me visualize where these ports are in the
network. and who sets them and how destination servers and clients differ
etc..
thanks,
