Which Port?

[Justin]

Hello.

When writing socket programs which comunicate with eachother over IP,
how do you choose which port they should use?

Cheers,

Justin.

Use dynamic port binding let the system find a free port
for u.
That way you'll never get in the way off other programs
that want to use a fixed port
write a simple rpc interface to let each program ask the
other what his current port number is.
