ABSTRACT:
A method for enhancing port allocation procedures in a computer network by reserving specific ports to particular users and processes. Access protocol for ports are modified to enable a system administrator to defined/pre-select particular users and processes that may access the specific ports. A table structure is provided with the list of users and processes with bind authority for the particular port. When a bind request is received the ID of the user or process is confirmed against those within the table of the requested port. Bind access is provided only when the user ID or process ID matches one that is within the table. The port is allocated to the user/program until the user/process is complete, and other requests for access to the port are ignored until final completion of the ongoing process, even when a temporary disconnect of the port occurs.
