Common network protocols and ports are assigned for specific purposes. HTTP uses port 80 for general web browsing while HTTPS uses port 443 for secure web browsing. FTP uses ports 20 and 21 for file transfers. Well-known ports from 1-1024 are pre-assigned to protocols like HTTP, FTP, and SMTP. IP addresses are divided into classes A, B, and C with different network and host number limits. Private IP ranges are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.
