    1. IP – Internet Protocol. Did they mean terminal sessions (Telnet)
    2. SMTP
    3. DNS
    4. HTTP
    5. DHCP
    6. HTTPS
    7. FTP

    1) Connections – telnet, port 23
    2) email – Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), port 25
    3) Translate URLs – Domain Name Server (DNS), not sure what port it uses
    4) Transport web pages, HTTP, port 80
    5) Auomatic IP address assignment, DHCP, not sure what port it uses
    6) Secure transport of web pages, HTTPS, port 443
    7) Transports files – ftp, port 21

    Caveats: There are many connection protocols and file transport protocols. The two listed above are some of the most commonly used. Most protocols allow ports other than the default port to be used.
