Re: small query on UDP protocol

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter () xs4all nl>]

Hi,

This is resolved from the services file. That port number is registered with 
IANA as:

iad1            1030/udp   BBN IAD

If you're curious, this is the BBN (Bolt, Beranek and Newman) Interface Access 
Device, which operates as a bridge/router between IP, X.25, asynch links, etc.

Nothing to worry about, Wirehshark does a best effort attempt to map port 
numbers to services (as was intended), but this becomes more and more error 
prone the higher the port numbers are.

Thanks,
Jaap
