I was scanning my local network for ports and found 5001 tcp/commplex-link. What is it?












0















Apparently my home router is listening on port 5001:



Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)
Host is up (0.018s latency).
Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
80/tcp open http
5001/tcp open commplex-link
52869/tcp open unknown


I tried googleing for port number (5001) and protocol (commplex-link) but couldn't find any clarification.



Does any body know what is that protocol or if it exists as a standard? Link to documentation would be nice.

  • What sort of router it is would help - also while its a well known port, ports are not always used for the registered protocol... so it might not actually be "commplex-link"

  • I agree, and thus I don't think it matters which router it is. I just want more info on the protocol itself. If nmap catched it I think it cannot be so "unknown". Nevertheless I couldn't find it.

  • It matters here simply because someone else might have come across it - alternative fun stuff to do is try using telnet and seeing what the response is... but if its something 'unique' to that router, it would narrow it down.

  • for example - wikipedia suggests slingbox/slingplayer and synology use it
