Answer:

Port Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Port numbers provide applications in a computer to share network.

Computer operating systems can handle network traffic, incoming and outgoing requests using port numbers.

This is managed by assigning each application to a different port number. Port numbers together with IP addresses identify network traffic.
