A port is a connection point for devices on a computer network that allows the transmission and reception of data. Ports are usually identified by a number, such as 80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS, and enable the routing of data between two devices. In the context of computers, ports are a logical connection point for an application or a service, allowing multiple applications and services to use the same physical port.
