Dynamic Ports

Dynamic Ports, also known as Private Ports, refer to one of the classes of the TCP/UDP ports, defined by IETF IANA. The other two classes are the Registered Ports and the Well Known Ports. The Private/Dynamic are those with a port number from 49152 through 65535, which could be used by any company for their private applications without any IANA administration.
