Well-Known Port Numbers

Both TCP and UDP use well-known ports, also known as service contact ports. The port names reflect the specific TCP and UDP applications. Ports are the end points of a connection, providing a convenient method for accessing and addressing the connection end.

The following list does not include all TCP and UDP ports, but it does include all those you are likely to encounter. The rest are assigned for historical or experimental reasons.
