Re: Replies on port 1029

[Mark Coccimiglio]

There is no "typical" port used. Unless the application binds the request to a specific port the OS picks for first available port. When doing socket level programming it is best to leave it to the OS to pick a port to send from (client side). The destination is fixed on a specific port so the recieving server application get the request. The server talks back to the client using its fixed port as the source and the clients chosen port as a destination. The source port typically is NOT the same as the destination. Matched source/destination ports sometimes can cause problems.
