The correct answer is 1701. L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) is a protocol used for creating virtual private networks (VPNs). It operates at the transport layer of the OSI model and uses UDP port 1701 for establishing and maintaining the tunnel between the client and server. This port is specifically designated for L2TP traffic, allowing for secure communication over the internet.Rate this question:

B. 1723Explanation
The correct answer is 1723. VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts and encapsulates data to ensure secure transmission over a network. Port 1723 is commonly used for VPN communication using the PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) protocol. PPTP establishes a secure connection by encapsulating data within IP packets and encrypting it, providing a secure and private communication channel.Rate this question:
