Port 5000 is used by Universal Plug N' Play (UPnP) devices to accept incoming connections from other UPnP devices.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Port 5000
UPnP devices utilize port 5000 via the TCP protocol to establish communication with each other. This allows for seamless device discovery and interaction within a network.
- Functionality: UPnP enables devices to automatically discover each other and share functionalities over a network.
- TCP Protocol: The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ensures reliable communication between devices using port 5000.
- Device Communication: UPnP devices connect to each other using the TCP protocol over port 5000. This facilitates the exchange of data and control signals.
