Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry (2024)

Service names and port numbers are used to distinguish between differentservices that run over transport protocols such as TCP, UDP, DCCP, andSCTP.Service names are assigned on a first-come, first-served process, asdocumented in [RFC6335].Port numbers are assigned in various ways, based on three ranges: SystemPorts (0-1023), User Ports (1024-49151), and the Dynamic and/or PrivatePorts (49152-65535); the different uses of these ranges are described in[RFC6335]. According to Section 8.1.2 of [RFC6335], System Ports are assigned by the "IETF Review" or "IESG Approval" procedures described in [RFC8126]. User Ports are assigned by IANA using the "IETF Review" process, the "IESG Approval" process, or the "Expert Review" process, as per [RFC6335]. Dynamic Ports are not assigned.The registration procedures for service names and port numbers aredescribed in [RFC6335].Assigned ports both System and User ports SHOULD NOT be used withoutor prior to IANA registration.************************************************************************* PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: ** ** ASSIGNMENT OF A PORT NUMBER DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY AN ** ENDORsem*nT OF AN APPLICATION OR PRODUCT, AND THE FACT THAT NETWORK ** TRAFFIC IS FLOWING TO OR FROM A REGISTERED PORT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ** IT IS "GOOD" TRAFFIC, NOR THAT IT NECESSARILY CORRESPONDS TO THE ** ASSIGNED SERVICE. FIREWALL AND SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS SHOULD ** CHOOSE HOW TO CONFIGURE THEIR SYSTEMS BASED ON THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF ** THE TRAFFIC IN QUESTION, NOT WHETHER THERE IS A PORT NUMBER ** REGISTERED OR NOT. *************************************************************************
