mecomm

Registered as mecomm, with no description and nothing known to implement it.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA lists TCP and UDP 668 under the service name "mecomm" with only "MeComm" as the description, no reference document, and no assignee note; the same bare entry ships in the /etc/services file on macOS. No maintained software is known to use it. The honest answer for this port is that the registration is all there is, and any open 668 needs to be identified from its banner or process, not from the port number.
