Synopsis

  • TCP port 4321 is the registered/default port for RWhois (Referral WHOIS), defined in RFC 2167.
  • The standard server implementation is rwhoisd (originally by Merit Network; distributed/maintained by ARIN and others), which listens on TCP/4321 by default.
  • In practice, many ISPs and hosting providers historically ran rwhoisd on 4321 to publish IP address reassignment data, and numerous legacy RWhois servers on that port still exist on the public Internet.
