What is a port?

Answer Posted / rajani nagandla

On computer and telecommunication devices, a port is
generally a specific place for being physically connected
to some other device, usually with a socket and plug of
some kind.
In programming, a port is a "logical connection place" and
specifically, using the Internet's protocol, TCP/IP, the
way a client program specifies a particular server program
on a computer in a network.
