net_binds stores all of ports that should be bound to by processes running on the servers. If any ports is bound to that is not listed here, it may indicate a security violation. This data is also used to open firewall ports. Each port may also be periodically monitored for process reliability.

Four types of IP addresses exist:

1. wildcard - Processes bind to all available IP addresses on the server. Monitoring may be performed from anywhere, depending on firewall flags.
2. public - Processes bind to a public IP address. Monitoring may be performed from the localhost or public network, depending on firewall rules.
3. private - Processes bind to a private IP address. Monitoring may be performed from the localhost or private network, depending on firewall rules.
4. loopback - Processes bind internally in the server. Monitoring may only be performed from localhost.
