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. Link Numbers

RFC 755                                                       3 May 1979

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].

Socket Numbers



ASSIGNED SOCKET NUMBERS

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 all callers an Initial Connection Procedure ICP [1,34] is used between the user process and the server process. This list specifies the socket used by the server process as its contact socket.
