This field identifies the sender's port, when used, and should be assumed to be the port to reply to if needed. If the source host is the client, the port number is likely to be an ephemeral port. If the source host is the server, the port number is likely to be a well-known port number from 0 to 1023. [6] Destination Port: 16 bits
UDP hole punching is a method for establishing bidirectional UDP connections between Internet hosts in private networks using network address translators. The technique is not applicable in all scenarios or with all types of NATs, as NAT operating characteristics are not standardized.
Troubleshooting network devices that use network clients (devices that "phone home" via UDP, TCP, or SSL—Packet Sender can capture these requests) Testing and development of new network protocols (send a packet, see if device behaves appropriately) Reverse-engineering network protocols for security analysis (such as malware)
netcat (often abbreviated to nc) is a computer networking utility for reading from and writing to network connections using TCP or UDP.The command is designed to be a dependable back-end that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts.
Flow diagram of client-server transaction using sockets with the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The Berkeley socket API typically provides the following functions: socket() creates a new socket of a certain type, identified by an integer number, and allocates system resources to it.
JGroups is a library for reliable one-to-one or one-to-many communication written in the Java language. It can be used to create groups of processes whose members send messages to each other. JGroups enables developers to create reliable multipoint (multicast) applications where reliability is a deployment issue.
A host may connect to a server that supports the Daytime Protocol on either Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 13. The server returns an ASCII character string of the current date and time in an unspecified format.
Using a MOM system, a client makes an API call to send a message to a destination managed by the provider. The call invokes provider services to route and deliver the message. Once it has sent the message, the client can continue to do other work, confident that the provider retains the message until a receiving client retrieves it.
