Technical Details

what runs on :1127

KWDB Remote Communication is registered on port :1127 over tcp and udp to Lal Samuel Varghese, assigned August 2005. We don't have a technical write-up for it beyond the IANA registry entry.

In nmap's internet-wide scan data this port is never observed open, so if it's open on your network it's more likely a custom or misconfigured service than the registered one.
