Which of the following protocols is associated with port 5060?

FTP
Telnet
SIP
SSH

The correct answer is: SIP

Port 5060 is primarily associated with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which is used for initiating, maintaining, and terminating real-time sessions in communication applications, such as voice and video calls over IP networks. SIP facilitates the signaling and controlling of multimedia communication sessions by managing the establishment of the media paths for audio, video, and messaging. This makes it integral to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technologies, where establishing communication channels is essential. Understanding SIP's role helps to elucidate why this protocol uses port 5060, as it adopts a specific port for signaling, allowing for standardized communication and interoperability across various devices and services within IP networks. Knowledge about SIP and its associated port is crucial for network engineers and security analysts, who need to secure and manage these services effectively.
