                          ASSIGNED NUMBERS

This Network Working Group Request for Comments documents the currently assigned values from several series of numbers used in network protocol implementations. This RFC will be updated periodically, and in any case current information can be obtained from Jon Postel. The assignment of numbers is also handled by Jon. If you are developing a protocol or application that will require the use of a link, socket, etc. please contact Jon to receive a number assignment.

Most of the protocols mentioned here are documented in the RFC series of notes. The more prominent and more generally used are documented in the Protocol Handbook [1] prepared by the Network Information Center (NIC). In the lists that follow a bracketed number, e.g. [1], off to the right of the page indicates a reference for the listed protocol.

RFC 758 August 1979 IEN 117 Assigned Numbers Port or Socket Numbers

                  ASSIGNED PORT or SOCKET NUMBERS
 Ports are used in the TCP [46] and sockets are used in the AHHP [1,3]
 to name the ends of logical connections which carry long term
 conversations.  For the purpose of providing services to unknown
 callers a service contact socket is defined.  This list specifies the
 port or socket used by the server process as its contact socket.  In
 the AHHP an Initial Connection Procedure ICP [1,34] is used between
 the user process and the server process to make the initial contact
 and establish the long term connections leaving the contact socket
 free to handle other callers.  In the TCP no ICP is necessary since a
 port may engage in many simultaneous connections.

RFC 758 August 1979 IEN 117 Assigned Numbers Link Numbers

                       ASSIGNED LINK NUMBERS
 The word "link" here refers to a field in the original ARPANET
 Host/IMP interface leader.  The link was originally defined as an 8
 bit field.  Some time after the ARPANET Host-to-Host (AHHP) protocol
 was defined and, by now, some time ago the definition of this field
 was changed to "Message-ID" and the length to 12 bits. The name link
 now refers to the high order 8 bits of this 12 bit message-id field.
 The low order 4 bits of the message-id field are to be zero unless
 specifically specified otherwise for the particular protocol used on
 that link.  The Host/IMP interface is defined in BBN report 1822 [2].
