Technical Details

what runs on :7236

TCP 7236 carries the Wi-Fi Display (WFD) control session, using RTSP messages and WFD-specific parameters to negotiate capabilities and control streaming. A source commonly connects to a display or receiver listening on this port; the RTSP exchange includes commands such as SETUP and PLAY. Audio and video are typically carried separately as RTP over negotiated UDP ports. Devices may advertise the service through DNS-SD as _display._tcp.

security overview

This is intended for nearby devices on a local wireless connection, not as an internet-facing service. WFD normally uses a secured Wi-Fi Direct connection, but the RTSP application protocol itself is not TLS-encrypted; an accessible receiver may expose control and media-handling code, and authorization or user-consent behavior varies by device. Restrict access to trusted local peers and do not forward the port from the internet.

port: :7236
service: Wi-Fi Display (Miracast)
transport: TCP
encryption: tls / encrypted
assignment: iana registered
risk: 3/10caution
category: Network Services Media
usage: A Miracast display or receiver commonly accepts a source's RTSP control connection on this port during screen mirroring. The devices usually connect over Wi-Fi Direct, rather than exposing the service to the public internet.
