Port Number

Explanation:

In the transport Layer of the OSI Model the port number is used to identify the receiving application. Temporary communication sessions are set up that enable data exchange, the two protocols used are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Each port is assigned a number that identifies it according to its function. The range for some well-known ports is 0-1023.
