Streaming services and applications use various ports for the delivery of audio and video content over the internet. Here are some commonly used streaming ports and their associated streaming services:
- Port 80: HTTP – While not exclusively for streaming, port 80 is often used for streaming video and audio content over the web, particularly through web browsers.
- Port 1935: RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) – Adobe Flash Media Server uses port 1935 for streaming multimedia content, though it is becoming less common with the decline of Flash.
- Port 554: RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) – RTSP is used for controlling the delivery of streaming media, and it often uses port 554 for communication.
- Port 1755: RTSP Alternate – An alternative port for RTSP-based streaming media.
- Port 1935: RTMP Alternate – Some RTMP streams may use an alternative port if the default port is unavailable.
- Port 8080: HTTP Alternate – Port 8080 is sometimes used for streaming HTTP-based content.
- Port 80/443: HTTP/HTTPS – Many streaming services use standard web ports (HTTP on port 80 or HTTPS on port 443) for content delivery.
- Port 5004/5005: RTP (Real-Time Protocol) – RTP and RTCP (Real-Time Control Protocol) often use these ports for media streaming.
- Port 5544: Shoutcast – Shoutcast, a popular platform for streaming audio content, may use port 5544.
- Port 1935: RTMP Secure – An encrypted version of RTMP may use port 1935 for secure streaming.
- Port 1755: RTSP Secure – A secure variant of RTSP may use port 1755 for encrypted media streaming.
- Port 80: HTTP Live Streaming – HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), developed by Apple, often uses port 80 for delivery of adaptive streaming content.
- Port 1935: RTMPS (RTMP Secure) – Secure RTMP streaming can use port 1935 for encrypted content.
- Port 8080: HTTP Alternate – Port 8080 is sometimes used for streaming HTTP-based content.
- Port 10000: WebRTC – Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) uses port 10000 for real-time audio and video communication in web browsers.
Please note that the choice of port can vary based on the streaming service, protocol, and configuration. Streaming services often use a combination of these ports to ensure the smooth and secure delivery of audio and video content over the internet.
