PORT3

In computer networking, "Port 3" usually refers to port number 3 in the TCP/IP protocol. Port numbers are used to identify different applications or services in a network, facilitating accurate data transmission.

Common usage: In early networks, port 3 may have been occupied by certain specific services (such as older instant messaging tools, proprietary protocols), but it is not a mainstream port today. In network debugging or custom services, developers may manually specify port 3 as a communication port (to avoid conflicts with system default ports). From a security perspective: If there are abnormal connections on port 3 in firewall logs, it may indicate a malicious program attempting to communicate via a non-standard port, requiring investigation in conjunction with specific IP and traffic characteristics. 2. Physical port (Port 3) On routers, switches, and other network devices, "Port 3" refers to the third physical interface used to connect network cables or other devices, with functionality consistent with other ports, differing only in numbering.
