Re: Internet application - what port should I use?



On Tue, 28 Mar 2006 14:23:48 +0100, Pete <pete@xxxxxxxxxxx> waffled on
about something:


Will it matter what port I decide to use? For example Bittorrent opted
to use 6881 as it's default port, why?

Is there a range of "available" ports that I should choose from?

The normal accept practice is to go above 1024 for you own apps, but
to make it configurable just in case you do bump into something else.

Have a look at the list...
