1DHCP
67/68
This network management protocol is used to assign local IP addresses to devices on a network. It is used to create multiple private IP addresses from one public IPv4 address.
2Kerberos
88
Network authentication protocol that allows for communication over a non-secure network.
3POP
Post Office Protocol - 110
E-mail protocol that allows e-mail clients to communicate with e-mail servers. POP provides only one-way communication.
4IMAP
Internet Message Access Protocol - 143, 993
E-mail protocol used by e-mail clients to communicate with e-mail servers. Provides two way communication unlike POP.
5SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol 161/162
Protocol used to monitor and manage network devices on IP networks.
6LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - 389
Used to manage and communicate with directories.
7LDAPS
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Secure - 636
Secure version of LDAP that uses TLS for encryption.
8FTPS
File Transfer Protocol Secure - 989/990
FTPS uses TLS for encryption. It can run on ports 20/21 but is sometimes allocated to ports 989/990.
9IMAPS
Internet Message Access Protocol Secure - 993
Secure version of IMAP that uses TLS for encryption.
10POP3S
Post Office Protocol 3 Secure - 995
Secure version of POP that uses TLS for encryption.
11RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service - 1812/1813
Used to provide AAA for network services
12Diameter
3868
Developed as an upgrade to Radius
13SRTP
Secure Real Time Protocol - 5004
SRTP replaced RTP and is a protocol used to stream audio and video communication using UDP.
14L2TP
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol - 1701
Session Layer
Used to create point to point connections, like VPNs over a UDP connection. Needs IPSec for encryption. Designed as an extension to PPTP. Operates at the data link layer but encapsulates packets at the session layer.
15TCP
Transmission Control Protocol
One of two main protocols of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite used to transmit data over an IP network. TCP provides error checking to ensure packets are not lost in transit.
16UDP
User Datagram Protocol
The second main protocol in the IP suite that transmits datagrams in a best effort method. UDP does not include error checking.
17PPTP
Point to Point Tunneling Protocol - 1723
Based on PPP. Deprecated protocol for VPNs.
18RDP
Remote Desktop Protocol - 3389
Windows proprietary protocol that provides a remote connection between two computers.
19VPN Tunnel Protocols
IPsec
TLS
L2TP
20STP / RSTP
Spanning Tree Protocol
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
Prevent against broadcast storms
