MySql supports several protocols

Protocol Connection Protocol                             Permissible Operating Systems
TCP      TCP/IP connection to local or remote server     All
SOCKET   Unix socket file connection to local server     Unix only
PIPE     Named-pipe connection to local or remote server Windows only
MEMORY   Shared-memory connection to local server        Windows only

A port is used only for TCP protocol.
