ephemeral port

[Frank (sjsu) Lin]

Just realize that I told you guys the wrong name for the "non-well-known port".  It is "ephemeral port"...  That's the port number used by typical clients.  It is used only for the duration of the connection.  Hence, the name...

Good to realize and correct my own mistake.
