This is very nasty behaviour on part of NI. The CA ports 5064 and 5065
are registered with the IANA and officially belong to Channel Access
(both UDP and TCP), see
https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt.

IMO you should file a complaint with NI; they should change their
default port to some unregistered port, perhaps they want to register
their protocol with IANA under another port number, but simply hijacking
an existing registered port is not acceptable.
