🌐 What are Ports? (Digital Doors of Your Computer)

How does incoming data reach the correct app on your computer? Through Ports.

Here are the key points:
🔹 1. What is a Port?
While your IP Address is your computer's home address, Ports act like specific apartment/room numbers guiding data to the right application.
🔹 2. Port Ranges (0 to 65,535)
Well-Known (0–1023): Reserved for standard global services (web, email).
Registered (1024–49151): Used by common software and apps.
Dynamic/Private (49152–65535): Assigned temporarily for active sessions.

🚀 Think of your IP address as the building address and port numbers as individual flat numbers!
👇 Did you know your computer uses thousands of ports simultaneously? Let me know!
