What is Port 5004?
Port 5004 is the standard IANA-assigned port for RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), which carries audio and video streams in VoIP and multimedia applications. While RTP typically uses dynamically assigned even-numbered UDP ports, 5004 serves as the well-known default. RTCP (RTP Control Protocol) uses the next odd port (5005) for quality feedback.
