The reason I want a document is so I can print it off and take it to the
network manager of the offending firewall and swat him so he'll
reconfigure it. "11371, I heard it on the net" doesn't seem like a sound
formal specification to reference when asking someone to open a new hole
in their firewall.
Well there is nothing formal on what port is being used. While most are
using 11371 there are others using different ports including 80. This
depends on the software configuration and software being used (not all
servers are running the same software).
Myself prefer having a flexible approach to the port being used by the
server rather than having a set port. I can even see hi volumn servers
using multiple ports for access (similar to what irc servers do).
