Define local port name

Is it possible to define the local port name used by a service using WCF?

I am working on two Windows services using the port 8000 & 8001, and I have noticed that the port 8001 used by one of my service is actually resolved in "RbService". How is that? What does "RbService" means?

Here is the view from CurrPorts:

I don't understand where this "RbService" comes from, and why my service using the port 8000 doesn't have a local port name.

To define port number and description here is what you can do :

Open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\services in notepad and add your desired port and service name in the following format 

servicename portnumber # comments

Example 

pro5srv 1100/tcp # PRO/5 file service

To define local port for WCF BaseURI can be modified under host.
