Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ephemeral port numbers indicate connections with servers. When a client initiates a connection with a server, it is assigned a random, ephemeral port number from a large pool of available port numbers. This port number is used to send and receive data between the client and server during the duration of the connection. Once the connection is terminated, the ephemeral port number is released back into the pool for future use. Applications are not directly associated with ephemeral port numbers, as they typically use well-known port numbers that are reserved for specific purposes.
