title: IPC port ranges
body: <p>IPC can be done via TCP/IP sockets. Which port ranges should I use for local IPC between programs under windows?<br>
  Does it matter which Windows version I'm using?<br>
  In case I'd like to be cross-platform compatible, is it any different under Linux?<br>
  Does it matter what language I write in?<br>
  Does it matter if the IPC is local or not?</p>
