Without fundamental simple definitions, all other tedious work is done in vain.
A Base is essential for clarity in developing possible pathways to application
constructions. Knowledge without practicality remains in the fantasies of man.
Sadly, our unity is divided where ignorant arguing leaves us empty attacking
both truth and deceptions. Can we unite in understanding?

Well-known ports = 0 to 1,023
  Registered ports = 1,024 to 49,151
     Dynamic ports = 49,152 to 65,535
        (Private)

A connection between two computers uses a socket.
A socket is the combination of IP address plus port.


Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) 		                  
TCP UDP
Reliable Unreliable
Connection-oriented Connectionless
Segment retransmission
and flow control through
windowing (Slider acknowledgment)		 No windowing or
retransmission
Segment sequencing No sequencing
  Acknowledge segments     No acknowledgement


All ports support TCP/UDP protocols. Sometimes Protocols use two ports, one for control configuration
and one for data transfer.   In some instances, control and transfer are conveyed on the same port.
Application specific as to TCP or UDP implementation, i.e. – (Port 7) Ping=UDP, Traceroute=TCP

IPv6 Protocol
Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
       Neighbor MAC Discovery = Replaces IPv4 ARP
       SLAAC = Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (≈ DHCP)
       DAD = Duplicate Address Detection
       RS = Router Solicitation ‒▶ FF02::2
       RA = Router Advertisement ◀‒ FE80::(MAC)
       NS= Neighbor Solicitation ‒▶ 2001:88::(request for MAC)
       NA= Neighbor Advertisment ◀‒ 2001:88::(returns MAC)
