Port 26900 is used primarily by CCP's EVE Online for its MMORPG game server communications. It facilitates connections between game clients and servers, enabling real-time multiplayer gameplay, player interactions, and persistent world updates within the EVE Online universe..
EVE Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by CCP Games. The game uses port 26900 primarily for client-server communications related to gameplay, including authentication, gameplay synchronization, and world state management. It ensures that players can connect to live servers, participate in battles, trade, and interact with vast in-game economies seamlessly over the internet.
Communication over port 26900 typically involves game-specific protocols layered atop TCP to maintain connection reliability, which is vital for persistent world updates and consistent player experience. This involves real-time exchanges of positional data, transaction information, and event notifications between thousands of players and the game servers.
Port 26900 is unofficially assigned for EVE Online operations, as it doesn't have an official IANA designation but has become a de facto standard within the EVE Online network architecture. Given the game's complexity, efficient use of this port is critical to delivering a smooth and immersive experience to the player base.
