In the offical documentation says"An even-numbered port for console connections.".what does this mean?ADB client's commands are executed by adb server.There is a connection between adbserver and adbd,so why it still needs a connection between android and console?what can this connection do?

What I have tried:

Solution 1

The server provides a connection to the daemon running on the device, and the client applications (e.g. adb) running in the user's PC, aka console.

What about the even-number port?When it will be used and what is its function?

Richard MacCutchan 13-Apr-16 6:39am

It is for the client applications (which run on the PC) to connect to the ADBD server.

Client defalut uses the port 5037 to connect with ADB server,it gets console command and send it to ADB server.ADB server will transmit the command to ADBD(which run on ANDROID) in an odd-numbered port if it can't processs.This seems to be a complete chain.In this information chain,this looks don't need even-numbered port.So when it will use even-numbered port and what will it do with the even-numbered port? Can you take an example? Really really appreciate.
