A "port" is a maintainance number. It will not respond to anything.
And a process, which opened a port, does not need to respond to
anything, while it _can_ do, of course.

Being a maintainance number, the port will not respond to anything.
According to the ICMP protocol and to TCP, the IP stack should respond
with ICMP port unreachable or with TCP RST.

"Stealth port" is just advertizing nonsense. Forget that.
