Given the following (truncated) output from the netstat command:

Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
tcp        0      0  oy.login               popeye.1023            ESTABLISHED
tcp        0      0  oy.2010                popeye.1760            ESTABLISHED

why is it that under the local address column, one is identified by a
name (login) and one by just a number (2010).
