  • List of TCP and UDP Port Numbers from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    List of TCP and UDP port numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of Internet socket port numbers used by protocols of the transport layer of the Internet Protocol Suite for the establishment of host-to-host connectivity. Originally, port numbers were used by the Network Control Program (NCP) in the ARPANET for which two ports were required for half- duplex transmission. Later, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) needed only one port for full- duplex, bidirectional traffic. The even-numbered ports were not used, and this resulted in some even numbers in the well-known port number /etc/services, a service name range being unassigned. The Stream Control Transmission Protocol database file on Unix-like operating (SCTP) and the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) also systems.[1][2][3][4] use port numbers. They usually use port numbers that match the services of the corresponding TCP or UDP implementation, if they exist. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses.[5] However, many unofficial uses of both well-known and registered port numbers occur in practice. Contents 1 Table legend 2 Well-known ports 3 Registered ports 4 Dynamic, private or ephemeral ports 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Table legend Official: Port is registered with IANA for the application.[5] Unofficial: Port is not registered with IANA for the application. Multiple use: Multiple applications are known to use this port. Well-known ports The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 are the well-known ports or system ports.[6] They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services.

  • 1 Background and Introduction 2 General Comment On
    M.5529 Oracle/Sun Merger Monty Program Ab's observations and corrections on Prof. Eben Moglen's submission to the Commission regarding GPL, forking and MySQL business models. 1 Background and introduction 1.1 A lawyer well-known in and well-respected by the free software community, former legal counsel to the Free Software Foundation, and former advisor to MySQL Ab, Professor Eben Moglen on December 4 published an opinion paper dated and submitted to the European Commission on November 19.1 1.2 Monty Program Ab was founded in 2009 by the creator of MySQL and its dual license business model, Michael "Monty" Widenius, and employs some former employees of MySQL Ab and Sun Microsystems. Like our previous submissions in this case, we wish to provide here our unique insight into MySQL, be it from a technical, business, or sometimes even licensing perspective. 1.3 In the following paragraphs we will correct (only) the main factual errors of Prof. Moglen's paper. Before commencing it is important to stress our highest regard for the valuable, life-long and groundbreaking work of Prof. Moglen for the FSF, MySQL Ab, and software freedom in general. We would like to remind the reader that in proceedings like this, each party is always advised and supported by lawyers, and a lawyer's duty is to argue that party's case as well as possible. Hence, with our pointing out the errors in Prof. Moglen's paper, it is not our intention to imply to any reader anything about the person of Prof. Moglen himself and we strongly advice the reader to read the following with a similar attitude.

  • What Powers Instagram: Hundreds of Instances, Dozens of Technologies Instagram Engineering
    What Powers Instagram: Hundreds of Instances, Dozens of Technologies ­ Instagram Engineering instagram­engineering.tumblr.com One of the questions we always get asked at meet­ups and conversations with other engineers is, “what’s your stack?” We thought it would be fun to give a sense of all the systems that power Instagram, at a high­level; you can look forward to more in­depth descriptions of some of these systems in the future. This is how our system has evolved in the just­over­1­year that we’ve been live, and while there are parts we’re always re­working, this is a glimpse of how a startup with a small engineering team can scale to our 14 million+ users in a little over a year. Our core principles when choosing a system are: Keep it very simple Don’t re­invent the wheel Go with proven and solid technologies when you can We’ll go from top to bottom: OS / Hosting We run Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (“Natty Narwhal”) on Amazon EC2. We’ve found previous versions of Ubuntu had all sorts of unpredictable freezing episodes on EC2 under high traffic, but Natty has been solid. We’ve only got 3 engineers, and our needs are still evolving, so self­hosting isn’t an option we’ve explored too deeply yet, though is something we may revisit in the future given the unparalleled growth in usage. Load Balancing Every request to Instagram servers goes through load balancing machines; we used to run 2 nginx machines and DNS Round­Robin between them.
