what port does ether-wake use? (I believe it is port 9? but not sure).
The 'ether-wake' command in net-tools doesn't use a port at all. It's
just a raw packet of EtherType 0x0842 as the so-called "Magic Packet"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Magic_packet>
For example, if you were to run:
(assuming interface name 'eth0')
# tcpdump -i eth0 ether proto 0x0842
You'd see the ether-wake command's packet. If you strace the process,
you'll see the socket is created as
socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, htons(0)).
