Actually, there are 3 port ranges defined by IANA: 1) The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023. - these are assigned by IANA 2) The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151 - they are not assigned by IANA, the IANA lists these ports only as a convenience to the community. 3) The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535 - they are not assigned by IANA, and they are meant for temporary use only But anyway. It's up to the server operator to decide which port to use. regards, Oliver _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
