Hello.  Yes, i have a small doubt.  I know that the ports smaller than 1024
are "reserved or standard ports", a mean, in this range are the ports number
defined for knew task like FTP, HTTP, etc etc.  I made an application and i
use only port numbers grater than 1023.  I'm just want to be sure that i
have all in the right way.

- What do i have  to keep in mind in selecting the port number that my
application should use? I mean, I tested my application with port 80 and it
works, port 7 and it works, etc etc.

- Can affect the speed of sending data depending of the port number?

-  Since my applicaiton is used transmit using my own protocol,  without
follow a defined knew protocol like HTTP, would be a good idea to take a
port greater than 1024 or is just the same which port  i take to make my
communication?.

Thanks in advance.

Keneth Wagner.
