all provisions of Section 10 of RFC2026.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other
groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

Internet-Draft SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers Oct 2003
1. Introduction
This document does not define any new protocols. It is intended only
to create the initial state of the IANA databases for the SSH
protocol. Except for one HISTORIC algorithm generally regarded as
obsolete, this document does not define any new protocols or any
number ranges not already defined in: [SSH-ARCH], [SSH-TRANS],
[SSH-USERAUTH], [SSH-CONNECT]
2. Conventions Used in This Document
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
and "MAY" that appear in this document are to be interpreted as
described in [RFC2119]
The used data types and terminology are specified in the architecture
document [SSH-ARCH]
The architecture document also discusses the algorithm naming
conventions that MUST be used with the SSH protocols.
3. IANA Considerations
3.1 Message Numbers
The Message Number is an 8-bit value, which describes the payload of
a packet.
Protocol packets have message numbers in the range 1 to 255. These
numbers have been allocated as follows in [SSH-ARCH]:
Transport layer protocol:
1 to 19 Transport layer generic (e.g. disconnect, ignore, debug, etc.)
20 to 29 Algorithm negotiation
30 to 49 Key exchange method specific (numbers can be reused for
different authentication methods)
User authentication protocol:
50 to 59 User authentication generic
60 to 79 User authentication method specific (numbers can be
reused for different authentication methods)
Connection protocol:
80 to 89 Connection protocol generic
90 to 127 Channel related messages
Lehtinen & Moffat Expires March 31, 2004 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers Oct 2003
Reserved for client protocols:
128 to 191 Reserved
Local extensions:
192 to 255 Local extensions
Requests for assignments of new message numbers must be accompanied
by an RFC which describes the new packet type. If the RFC is not on
the standards-track (i.e. it is an informational or experimental
RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed and approved by the IESG before
the RFC is published and the message number is assigned.
