A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port 9. Once a + connection is established any data received is thrown away. No + response is sent.

A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port 9. When a + datagram is received, it is thrown away. No response is sent. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Postel [Page 1] + -- cgit v1.2.3
