  "whatItIs": "IANA assigns 1048 to `neod2`, the second \"Sun's NEO Object Request Broker\" entry, registered to an individual with no date and no reference document. Sun's NEO distributed-object product dates from the 1990s and has been gone for many years, so the pair 1047/1048 is a historical registration rather than a live service. As with its neighbours in the 1025-5000 band, anything actually listening on 1048 is more likely a dynamically assigned RPC endpoint or an application that picked a free low port.",
