Think of that file as an ASCII database file which applications
can access for converting name/port/datatype to other values.
Contents in those files are registered by different vendors
at  http://www.iana.org for their apps.

Two examples from my firewall rules.

ACCEPT  net:$CHRIS_IP          all     tcp     ssh
REJECT  net:$LAN_GATEWAY all           udp     netbios-ns

That way I do not have to lookup the actual port number.
