You are writing a letter to your friend, in this letter you
will write the Full address details such as Door
Number,Village Name, etc....
Take this example, in networking level, Here the Village
name is like IP address and Door Number is like Port.
Why you are mentioning the door number in the letter,
because in the village there are number of houses, to find
