014.01.40.2. Can you explain the concept of TCP ports and their significance in establishing connections between applications on different hosts? Provide an example of a TCP connection using port numbers.
TCP ports provide for multiple network applications on one machine by means of network ports which are numbers used along with addresses. Usign TCP, application opens a connection between one port on its own machine and a port on a remote host. For e.g., an application such as a web browser could open a connection between port 36406 on its own machine and port 80 on a remote host.
TCP ports allow for the simultaneous operation of multiple network applications on a single machine by using network port numbers in conjunction with addresses. With TCP, an application establishes a connection between a port on its own machine and a port on a remote host. For example, a web browser could initiate a connection between port 36406 on its machine and port 80 on a remote host.
