Detailed explanation-1: -The transport layer is the layer at which TCP/IP ports listen. For instance, the standard port which HTTP listens on is TCP Port 80, although HTTP could really run on any TCP port; this is the standard.
Detailed explanation-2: -A port number is the logical address of each application or process that uses a network or the Internet to communicate. A port number uniquely identifies a network-based application on a computer. Each application/program is allocated a 16-bit integer port number.
Detailed explanation-3: -Port is an address of a 16-bit unsigned integer number which ranges from 0 to 65535. The primary application of a port number is to transmit the data between a Computer Network and an Application. Port is just a unique number assigned to every application of a computer.
