networking - Which port number should be used for network example code?

Question

I've written a little Haskell network example, but i don't know, which port i should use.

i couldn't find a example port number in the IETF papers i found or in Wikipedia's list of port numbers, but maybe there is a common port number in the programming community.

Answer 1

Ports that are beyond 1024 and under 65535 and not have been used by you computer are all OK, just choose what you like. Usually some net frameworks use 8000 or 8888.
