A single port can be configured to listen for UDP or TCP inbound connection requests (or both). Telnet uses TCP. So when you telnet to a specific IP:port, telnet will attempt to make a TCP connection. If there is no TCP listener on the port you specify, then the connection request will be refused. It matters not if you have a UDP listener on the port. Telnet will not be able to establish a connection to a UDP port.

For example, most internet (http) traffic is on port 80, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sends and listens on Port 21, other services use other ports. This allows a single computer with a single IP address to be both a web server and a file server.
