Ephemeral ports
Hi,
While looking for some valid port configurations, i came across that in Solaris 2.2 by default the ephemeral ports for TCP and UDP start at 32768. Just eager to know the reason of why does it start at 32768 (2 to the power of 15) ? And i wonder why does it not follow the IANA range ? Interestingly, many linux kernels also use the same and why do not they stick towards IANA range ? BSD and Windows stick towards 1024 to 4999 and 1025 to 5000 respectively, while Vista and FreeBSD stick towards IANA range ! Any ideas ? Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru
