ASSIGNED NUMBERS
Status of this Memo
This memo is an official status report on the numbers used in
protocols in the ARPA-Internet community. Distribution of this memo
is unlimited.
Introduction
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 Joyce Reynolds. The assignment of numbers is also handled by
Joyce. If you are developing a protocol or application that will
require the use of a link, socket, port, protocol, network number,
etc., please contact Joyce to receive a number assignment.

Most of the protocols mentioned here are documented in the RFC series
of notes. Some of the items listed are undocumented. Further
information on protocols can be found in the memo "Official
ARPA-Internet Protocols" [114]. The more prominent and more
generally used are documented in the "DDN Protocol Handbook" [46]
prepared by the NIC. Other collections of older or obsolete
protocols are contained in the "Internet Protocol Transition Workbook
[47], or in the "ARPANET Protocol Handbook" [48]. For further
information on ordering the complete 1985 DDN Protocol Handbook,
