Well Known Ports is a term used for the virtual port numbers used by various TCP and UDP services running over Internet Protocol. These port numbers are registered and managed by a group called the Internet Assigned Names Authority (IANA). This list is sometimes referred to as the "ports and protocols" list for Internet Protocol and TCP/UDP services.

These ports are broken down into ranges:

Category Port Range Assignment/Use
