How to specify port number for a ROS node?

Is there any way we can specify the port number for a ROS node? What I found is each ROS node is allocated an arbitrary port number. But in our application, we need to specify this port number for the ROS nodes other than a random port.

Can you provide more details about your application? Are you extremely port-limited, or do you need to get data over a VPN?
