A (point-to-point)”connection” is established when the following is known:
- the protocol being used
- local port number
- local IP address
- remote IP address
- remote port number
Note that this could look like:
protocol: TCP, IP address: 128.61.191.2:80, port number: 80 with IP address 128:61.184.10, port number: 80,
Written as:
TCP, 128.61.191.2:80 with 128.61.184.10:80
(port 80 is most often used for HTTP traffic)
