What range of ports are typically associated with non-system applications?

The range of ports typically associated with non-system applications falls between 1024 and 49151. This range is known as the registered ports. They are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for specific applications or services but are not as tightly controlled as the system ports, which range from 0 to 1023. System ports are reserved for well-known services such as HTTP, FTP, and SMTP, and their usage is strictly managed to ensure consistent service assignments.

Registered ports, on the other hand, are often used by applications that do not require the strict control associated with the well-known ports. Developers can use these ports to run their own applications without conflict, provided they register the port with IANA if needed. This flexibility allows for a wide array of applications to function, making this range crucial for non-system related applications in a network configuration.

The higher ranges of ports, specifically 49152 to 65535, are referred to as dynamic or private ports, which are often used for ephemeral connections and are not typically associated with specific applications. Thus, the registered port range of 1024 to 49151 is the most appropriate answer for non-system applications.
