hello forum,
I am trying to understand what a port is.
Each device on a LAN is assigned an internal IP address. Does each device also have a port?
In some situations, like setting up an IP camera, we need to specify the port number. In other cases we seem to not worry about ports...
What is a port exactly? Why is the IP address not enough? Every device has a distinct IP address...
thanks
