Go to Glossary List



Description: TCP Port Service Multiplexer. TCPMUX listens on port 1. When a connection is established, it is supposed to send the name of the service it wants to connect, and the selected protocol starts if available. TCPMUX is defined in RFC 1078 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1078.txt, but never gained any popularity and is considered deprecated.
