Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -TCP connection specifies the communication process on the two end systems. A port number can be used to identify a specific system to which a Web request or other communication request will be sent when it arrives at a server.
Detailed explanation-2: -The use of ports and their identifying numbers are an extension to the addressing scheme. Once the address is used to deliver data to the wanted host on the network, the port number is used to identify the process for which the data is used. This enables one host to provide more than one service.
