port services

Port services are specific functions associated with network communication ports—logical channels on a computer or server. Each port is assigned a number and a service that indicate what type of data or activity is happening, such as email transfer or web browsing. They help computers direct incoming and outgoing data correctly, ensuring that information reaches the intended application or service. Think of ports as doors on a building: each door (port) leads to a specific room (service), allowing efficient and organized communication within a network.
