- Hi,
-
- Portnumbers may vary from 0 upto 65536. In RFC1060 the assignement
- of these numbers is listed. The portnumbers >1023 may be freely used.
-
- But if i want to use one of the 65536-1024 portnumbers for a certain
- application, how can be sure that a conflict will not be created.
- That is: someone else has choosen the same number but implemented for
- a different protocol. How do i know this situation will not happen?
- And, what portnumber should i use?
-
-
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Frank
