TCP Ports and sockets on the field

The roboRIO will be having at least one (maybe a couple more as the season progresses, along with my code) port in use. All of the port configurations will take place over a web server.

I am wondering what the port blocks are and why they exist.
If I wanted to run an HTTPd on the roboRIO, on port 890, would I be able to access it during a match? (890 is an arbitrary number that's not in the manual)

Pg 16 of the game manual has all the ports that are open on the field. TCP 5800-5810 are open for team use, so that is what I would recommend using.
