Each lane is called a "port", and each port is designed to allow only specific types of information through. Many ports are assigned in a semi-standardized way. Here are some example port assignments:
<UL>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">HTML pages: port 80
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">FTP file transferring: port 21
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">World of Warcraft: port 3724
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">POP3 email: port 110
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">MSN Messenger:  port 6901 and ports 6891-6900
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Everquest: port 1024
