Ports are an abstraction that allows programs to communicate via different protocols. We use them with transportation layer protocols like TCP, UDP, and SMTP.
Different services are given a port number. For instance, HTTP uses TCP and UDP port 80. A pair of systems opens many sockets using the same transport protocol by employing port numbers.
