CSCI 340: Operating Systems
Fall 2007
Default Port Assignments

Program p2 will require you to communicate using sockets.  When communicating using sockets you need to pick a port to communicate through.  A port is similar to a mailbox.  You tell someone to communicate with you by putting mail in mailbox 50000 and then you look in mailbox 50000 for the communication.

The specifications for p2 will require that you allow the user to enter a port number.  However, during development and testing it is very tedious for you to continually type in a port number.  It is easier if you build in a default port number.

However, with 25 students developing the same software on Jaguar@ecst, you might just happen to pick the same port number as another student.  Thus I am assigning each of you a unique port number that you can use on Jaguar and be sure no other 340 student is using it.
