Distributed Framework Port

An IANA registration with no public protocol behind it.

TCP IANA: dif-port

Description

IANA registers 2251 as dif-port, "Distributed Framework Port". No specification was published with the registration and no commonly deployed software defaults here, so the entry is a reserved name rather than a protocol you will meet on a scan. A listener on 2251 is best identified by process, not by the registry.
