Control channel for the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol, used to establish network performance test sessions.
port 862 as TWAMP-Control →UDP 862 carries TWAMP-Test measurement packets to a reflector for two-way network performance measurements.
port 862 as TWAMP-Test →The registry says what 862 is registered to. What is listening on it right now is decided by the host, and only the host can be asked. Each of these prints the process behind the socket.
ss -ltnp | grep ':862\b'lsof -nP -iTCP:862 -sTCP:LISTENnetstat -ano | findstr :862On Linux and Windows the process name comes back with the socket; on macOS lsof needs sudo to name a process that isn't yours. Match what it prints against the 2 entries above.
A port number is not a service. Anything may listen on 862 — what you actually met is decided by the host, not the registry. If a service is missing here, it belongs in the registry.
