Talk:Ephemeral port

message: Is dynamic port a synonym. Port number says "The dynamic or private ports are those from 49152 through 65535. One common use is for ephemeral ports." what are the other uses? --Kvng (talk) 17:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ephemeral literally means short-lived and that term is often used interchangably with dynamic, even in the IETF RFC specifications (see IETF RFC 6335 for instance).  However, the IANA port registry documents the dynamic port range to be 49152-65535 inclusive.  In practice, systems can and do allocate a dynamic (aka ephemeral) port outside of this range. Likewise, service applications, that is servers could listen on a port assigned to a number in that IANA defined range.  The IANA registry describes a guideline and common use, but there is nothing to stop anyone from using them differently, but it is not a common practice. --jtk (talk) 21:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dynamic ports 

message: (can someone review this it is just my trying to work it out.) 
Is it that if we let port used by services e.g. 80 be used as an ephemeral on a device that is also a server, serving for example on port 80. Then we may get in a situation where ip=A ephemeral=80 connects to ip=B port=80, and then it may happen that ip=B ephemeral=80 attempts to connect to ip=A port=80, the connection will be refused (though this it least in theory con be detected at the client, and a new ephemeral assigned automatically before a connection is attempted). We could allow all ports not used as services be used as ephemerals, but this is harder to manage and why bother when there are so many spare dynamic ports. I
:A port, ephemeral or otherwise is just one part of the 5-tuple (source address, destination address, protocol, source port, destination port) that identifies process-to-process communications.  It is perfectly acceptable and common for one host to use the same local port and correctly disentangle communications as long as some of the 4 components of the tuple are distinct.  If this were not the case, a web server server listening on port 80 would not be able to handle multiple conversations from remote clients.  However, in practice an ephemeral source port selection strategy will not select a local port already in use by another process, even if resultant communications means the 5-tuple properties are otherwise different.  Furthermore, in your specific example, at least on UNIX-based systems, but this is generally true in others, port numbers below 1024 are well-known or "privileged" and generally not available except by root or administrative processes so you won't generally find them being part of the ephemeral source port pool. --jtk (talk) 21:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why a limited set of ephemerals 

message: "If certain server software is used, that uses non ephemeral custom port ranges"
Is this server software installed on the client machine? More context is needed in this section in my opinion.

Talk:Ishmael/Archive 1

message: While Islam is very definite that Ishmael is the one nearly sacrificed by Abraham, the Qu'ran itself merely refers to 'his son'. This may be worth a mention, as it means that the tradition of Ishmael as the sacrificed is not total dogma.

thread_title:  Islam and Ishmael 

message: I propose removing the statement about Bahá'í belief that Ishmael is a prophet, but leaving this note to give a chance for discussion first. On p87 of Dawn of a New Day, Shoghi Effendi cites a passage from 'Abdu'l-Bahá saying that the prophet Ishmael is not the same person as Ishmael son of Abraham. Thus the canon Bahá'í belief should be that this Ishmael is not a "minor prophet." Minor point for the whole article, but factually relevant. 
Also, I'm not sure if it is worth mentioning, but the Bahá'í writings  also refer to Ishmael as the intended sacrifice. Sfuqua 14:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:And Be a Villain

message: The infobox has been modified to conform with the novels project style guidelines, which indicate that the infobox should describe "only the media types in which the novel was originally available. For example, eighteenth-century novels were never published in 'hardback and paperback' nor in audiobook so it is inappropriate to list those print subtypes." Since the Nero Wolfe books (1934–1975) were originally available in hardcover, and only later published in other formats, the infoboxes for these Rex Stout novels and novella collections are being amended to read "Print (Hardcover)" -- with "Media type" describing only the first-edition printing. 
The ISBN field will be completed, but read "NA" by request of the novels project. Subsequent releases of the book are listed with their ISBNs in a section of the article headed "Release details."
The genre in the infobox is being listed as Detective fiction, a classification that includes both the novels and the novella collections. Novels and novella collections are clearly differentiated from each other in the articles' lead paragraphs, and in categories that appear at the bottom of the articles. -- WFinch 03:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't object to Tamfang's 12/16/09 edit as a matter of style. A participle, followed closely by a gerund, when both are of the -ing variety, feels clumsy. (Notwithstanding my own usage, earlier on this page, of "bemoaning the whacking".) I'm just not sure how it's ungrammatical. The participle is neither fused nor unattached, and the use of the gerund is surely correct in a strict sense. TurnerHodges (talk) 18:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is "fused" if I understand the use of that term.  The matter remarked on is not Stout's title but its being changed; the pedant would insist on Stout's title's being changed.
