Echo |
Echo Service, somewhat outdated by ICMP echo. Port just echoes whatever is sent to it. This feature can be used in many attacks, such as fraggle.

ICP - Internet Caching Protocol - This protocol is used by HTTP caching proxies in order to coordinate working together in a cluster. Part of this implementation includes bouncing packets off the echo port in order to test if the peers are alive. |

TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is one of the main protocols in
TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts
to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data
and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
Guaranteed communication is the key difference between TCP and UDP.
UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol, a communications protocol for the Internet network,
transport, and session layers. Like TCP (Transmission Control Protocol),
UDP is used with IP (the Internet Protocol) and makes possible the transmission of datagrams
from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless
and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received
the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery.
