Comment

A _virtual or physical_ endpoint that's purpose is to provide a point of 
communication for different _software or other hardware devices_. 

in concept, this allows a single device to have multiple end-points for 
communication, thus allowing multiple processes of communication 
to happen concurrently (or simultaneously depending on the processors 
on the end device), logically allowing more bandwidth per device 
throughout a network.

- Improving efficiency
- Allowing more resource usage on a network
- Can be virtual (0 - 65535), or physical (24 port switch)

What is Network Port?
	A network port is a process-specific or an application-specific software
construct serving as a communication endpoint, which is used by the Transport 
Layer protocols of Internet Protocol suite, such as User Diagram Protocol
(UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
	A specific network port is identified by its number commonly referred to
as port number, the IP address in which the port is associated with and the 
type of transport protocol used for the communication.
	A port number is a 16-bit unsigned integer that ranges from 0 to 65535.
