Reference

• RFC 4340: Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP)

Note

Service Codes are big-endian 32-bit numbers. Some Service Codes also have an ASCII string representation; when a Service Code may be represented in "SC:" format according to the rules in RFC 4340, Section 8.1.2, the ASCII column shall provide that interpretation. Here is an example allocation:

1717858426 fdpz Frobodyne Plotz Protocol [RFCWXYZ]

Service Codes whose high-order 8 bits equal the value 63 (ASCII '?') are reserved for Private Use; this is the range 1056964608-1073741823. Service Codes whose component bytes' values are each in the set {32, 45-57, 65-90} are allocated using the Specification Required policy (this corresponds to no simple range). All other Service Codes are allocated using the First Come First Serve (FCFS) policy.

See the following Javascript program to analyze one or more Service Codes, given numerically or as strings:
