What is Port 1828 / ITM-MCELL-U

Can anyone tell me what Port 1828 / ITM-MCELL-U is used for? An internet search tells me that Port 1828 = ITM-MCELL-U, but not what uses it.

I've seen traffic on this port on the LAN / Internet but cannot identify it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. The traffic was on the LAN of a hopefully-to-be-customer, was a burst taking most of the 256k outgoing bandwidth of the broadband connection which is why I was interested. [We were trying out an Allot NetEnforcer]. Because it isn't my LAN and we have no contractual responsibility for maintaining it I can't take it any further - much as I'd like to. There may be manufactuting equipment on the LAN too (hence the port name?). If it is IP Authentication then I don't understand why it should be taking up such a large part of the bandwidth.

I've seen some poorly-written applications hosted on cluster servers behind single, slow proxies. Sometimes, each dialog box on a single page points to a different server in the cluster--with the single proxy re-authenticating HTTPS hundreds of thousands of times. It can be a killer.

Hi. Do you have any other questions?

Thanks for the input - no further questions because as noted above I have no responsibility for the network in question. Would still have liked to know what the protocol acutally was, but all attempts to trace it lead nowhere - or rather round in circles.
