Port Control Protocol Extension for Port-Set Allocation
RFC 7753, “Port Control Protocol Extension for Port-Set Allocation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2016 by Q. Sun, M. Boucadair, S. Sivakumar, C. Zhou, T. Tsou, S. Perreault. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In some use cases, e.g., Lightweight 4over6, the client may require not just one port, but a port set. This document defines an extension to the Port Control Protocol (PCP) that allows clients to manipulate a set of ports as a whole. This is accomplished using a new MAP option: PORT_SET.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
