TCP and UDP ports are network ports.
IANA is responsible for assigning TCP and UDP port numbers to specific uses. The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports, the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports.
IANA does not enforce this; it is simply a set of recommended uses. Sometimes ports may be used for different applications or protocols than their official IANA designation. This misuse may, for example, be by a Trojan horse, or alternatively be by a commonly used program that didn't get an IANA registered port or port range.
