Recommendations on Using Assigned Transport Port Numbers
RFC 7605, “Recommendations on Using Assigned Transport Port Numbers”, is a Best Current Practice document published in August 2015 by J. Touch. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides recommendations to designers of application and service protocols on how to use the transport protocol port number space and when to request a port assignment from IANA. It provides designer guidance to requesters or users of port numbers on how to interact with IANA using the processes defined in RFC 6335; thus, this document complements (but does not update) that document.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
