Port Filtering to Block Services
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and
game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends
a request for service to a server computer, the service or port number identifies the requested
service. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets.
For example, a packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web
server) request.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF at
) identifies the service
numbers for many common protocols. These numbers are published in RFC1700, “Assigned
Numbers.” Typically, authors of other applications choose service numbers for the
applications from the range 1024–65535. Although the router already holds a list of many
service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. You can often find port number
