Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry

Last Updated

Expert(s)

  • TCP/UDP: Joe Touch; Eliot Lear, Kumiko Ono, Wes Eddy, Brian Trammell, and Michael Scharf
  • SCTP: Michael Tuexen
  • DCCP: Eddie Kohler and Yoshifumi Nishida

Reference

  • RFC 6335: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Procedures for the Management of the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry

Note

Service names and port numbers are used to distinguish between different services that run over transport protocols such as TCP, UDP, DCCP, and SCTP.

Service names are assigned on a First Come First Served basis, as described in RFC 6335.

Port numbers are divided into three ranges, with their uses and assignment procedures specified in Section 8.1.2 of RFC 6335:

The registration procedures for service names and port numbers are specified in RFC 6335, while the registration policies referenced above are defined in RFC 8126.

Assigned ports both System and User ports SHOULD NOT be used without or prior to IANA registration.

Assignment of a port number does not in any way imply an endorsement 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.

https tcp HTTP over SSL/TLS Tim Berners-Lee Tim Berners-Lee Web browsers like Safari and Internet Explorer (with the Bonjour for Windows plugin) DO NOT browse for DNS-SD service type "_https._tcp" in addition to browsing for "_http._tcp". This is a conscious decision to reduce proliferation of service types, to help keep DNS-SD efficient on the network. Today, if a user types http://www.mybank.com/ into their web browser, the web server automatically redirects the user to https://www.mybank.com/. Rather than having an entirely different DNS-SD service type for https, we recommend using the same redirection mechanism: advertise a plain "http" service, which consists of nothing except an HTTP redirection to the desired "https" URL. Work is currently being done on adding mechanisms to HTTP and TLS to allow the server to tell the client that it needs to activate TLS on the current connection before proceeding. If this becomes widely adopted, it further justifies the decision to not create a separate DNS-SD service type "_https._tcp", because security becomes just another one of the things that is negotiated on a per-connection basis (like content-type negotiation today) rather than being an entirely separate thing.
