Best Answer

A networking security method of controlling access.

Let's say I don't want users to surf the internet - I can deny access via the port specifically allocated to the HTTP protocol used in web pages (port 80), and no browser will be able to send out requests to access web pages.

If you don't understand about TCP/IP ports, there's info on Wikipedia.
