Registered as conf with no description; no current standard service.
IANA registers 2008/tcp as conf and 2008/udp as terminaldb, two undocumented early registrations. No maintained protocol uses either name. As with its neighbours, an open 2008 in a network-gear context is usually reverse telnet to line 8 on a Cisco terminal server, and elsewhere it is an application that simply picked the port.
