What is UDP 5050 used for?

[Paul Franson]

I'm in a highly regulated environment where I need to either supply a justification for any listened ports or close them.

This is my first 2016 server, and there is this UDP 5050 that I cannot find any documentation for.

Tasklist /svc says that is opened by:

svchost.exe EventSystem, FontCache, netprofm, nsi,
RemoteRegistry, W32Time

Anyone have a narrative for this port?

Thanks,
Paul Franson
