Technical Details

what runs on :36462

This is the registered SCTP port for the 3GPP Xw control plane, which uses the Xw Application Protocol (XwAP) between an eNodeB and a WLAN Termination. XwAP carries control procedures for the Xw interface; SCTP provides the transport association. The protocol does not encrypt application traffic itself, so any confidentiality or transport protection depends on the deployment.

security overview

This is an operator-network interface, not a service intended to be exposed to the public internet. An exposed endpoint could be probed for SCTP and targeted with malformed protocol traffic; restrict access to trusted RAN peers and use the network's transport protections. No specific known vulnerability is implied by the port assignment.

Record

iana registry entry

port: :36462
service: Xw Control Plane (Xw-C)
transport: SCTP
encryption: cleartext
assignment: iana registered
risk: 2/10safe
category: Network Services Mobile
usage: In LTE-WLAN Aggregation deployments, an eNodeB uses Xw-C to exchange control signalling with a WLAN Termination. Engineers are most likely to encounter it on operator RAN links, rather than on general-purpose servers or public-facing networks.
