You will find that quite a few generators of network traffic (p2p
apps, worms, at least some messenger clients) use more than one port -
or in several cases, use completely random ports.
Also - a whole lot of ports that are commonly used by p2p and
messenger clients (before they fall back to random ports) are not
listed in "well known ports" RFCs, or in /etc/services
