Synopsis for TCP port 7
Internet TCP port 7 is traditionally associated with the Echo Protocol, as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 862. This protocol is used for diagnostic and testing purposes, where it sends back any data it receives, hence the name "Echo". However, in modern networking, this port is often left closed due to its potential for misuse in Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Therefore, there is no standard or common use of this port in contemporary systems or software.
