I'm a little bit confused. I know about well-known and registered port numbers but never heard standard or non-standard ports. I will consider well-known and registered ports to be standard and the rest non-standard. Does this is correct or I have been missing something else? Thank you in advance.

One Answer:
If HTTP is transmitted via port 80, then it's the standard port, as 'everybody' is using HTTP on that port. It's also the well-known and the 'registered' port. If you run your web server on port 8000 it's a non-standard port. In that case you'll have to add the port to the URL in the browser, like: http://server:8000/ The same applies for all other protocols (FTP, SMTP, etc.) So, you can say: the standard port is the same as the well-known port and the 'registered' port.
