    What is a port? What are port numbers? A port is a logical connection that is used by programs
    and services to exchange information. It specifically determines which program or service on a computer or server that is going to be used..whether that is pulling up a web page, using an FTP service, accessing email and so on.

      It would be better to start with explaining the networking layers. From this video, it is not clear how network devices decide which of the network protocol to use. In turn, ports are just a feature of the protocols based on IP whilst IP is far not the only protocol existing.

    I must say thank you. Your channel did more than help me past some tests. Your videos helped me land a job in the field. I was in professor messers chat room the other day and multiple people told me no need to understand the TCP/IP model because it's not on the Comptia Objectives. Yet it was one of the first few questions in the job interview. Need to be extra careful who we get information from. They also asked about VLANs and Subnetting which I both learned from your channel as well as converting decimal and IP addresses into binary.

    Your videos are amazing. I think the animations are super helpful because a lot of the time when this stuff was introduced to me it was through a bunch of definitions, and I would often times try to just memorize them. However, with the images you can just remember the picture and then when asked to explain the concept itself, you can explain what you are seeing or saw rather than a explaining a bunch of technical jargon.

    This video explains network ports pretty well.

      @@tacorito1809 technically speaking, no one is stopping you from using an another type of service on a port just like how you can run a web server on a port that's not port 80. It's just about standards. The standard is to use port 80 when running a web server but you can still use an another port if you want and you will still be able to access that web server via wget/curl or your browser by specifying the port. Same is also true for ftp servers, as you will notice, most modern GUI FTP clients have port field where you can enter a specific port in case the ftp server is running on an another port (not port 21).
