  "whatItIs": "IANA marks TCP 1027 simply \"Reserved\" — there is no service name and no assignee, so nothing is entitled to it. UDP 1027 is assigned to `6a44` (RFC 6751, Experimental), a scheme for giving hosts native ISP-prefixed IPv6 addresses from behind IPv4-only CPE by tunnelling IPv6 in UDP/IPv4; it saw essentially no deployment. Anything actually listening on TCP 1027 is therefore unregistered, and on pre-Vista Windows it is most often another dynamically allocated RPC endpoint from the old 1025-5000 range.",
