ASSIGNED NUMBERS
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, or network number please contact Joyce to receive a number
assignment.

Most of the protocols mentioned here are documented in the RFC series of
notes. The more prominent and more generally used are documented in the
"Internet Protocol Transition Workbook" [16] or in the old "ARPANET
Protocol Handbook" [17] prepared by the NIC. Some of the items listed
are undocumented. Further information on protocols can be found in the
memo "Official Protocols" [52].
In all cases the name and mailbox of the responsible individual is
indicated. In the lists that follow, a bracketed entry, e.g., [16,iii],
at the right hand margin of the page indicates a reference for the
listed protocol, where the number cites the document and the "iii" cites
the person.

Assigned Numbers RFC 870
Network Numbers
ASSIGNED NETWORK NUMBERS
The network numbers listed here are used as internet addresses by the
Internet Protocol (IP) [16,47]. The IP uses a 32-bit address field
and divides that address into a network part and a "rest" or local
address part. The division takes 3 forms or classes.
The first type of address, or class A, has a 7-bit network number
and a 24-bit local address. The highest-order bit is set to 0.
This allows 128 class A networks.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

|0| NETWORK | Local Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Class A Address
The second type of address, class B, has a 14-bit network number
and a 16-bit local address. The two highest-order bits are set to
1-0. This allows 16,384 class B networks.

Class B Address
The third type of address, class C, has a 21-bit network number
and a 8-bit local address. The three highest-order bits are set
to 1-1-0. This allows 2,097,152 class C networks.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Class C Address
Note: No addresses are allowed with the three highest-order bits
set to 1-1-1. These addresses (sometimes called "class D") are
reserved.
Reynolds & Postel [Page 2]
Assigned Numbers RFC 870
Network Numbers
One commonly used notation for internet host addresses divides the
32-bit address into four 8-bit fields and specifies the value of each
field as a decimal number with the fields separated by periods. This
is called the "dotted decimal" notation. For example, the internet
address of ISIF in dotted decimal is 010.002.000.052, or 10.2.0.52.
The dotted decimal notation will be used in the listing of assigned
network numbers. The class A networks will have nnn.rrr.rrr.rrr, the
class B networks will have nnn.nnn.rrr.rrr, and the class C networks
will have nnn.nnn.nnn.rrr, where nnn represents part or all of a
network number and rrr represents part or all of a local address.
There are three catagories of users of Internet Addresses: Research,
Defense, and Commercial. To reflect the allocation of network
identifiers among the categories, a one-character code is placed to
the left of the network number (in the column marked by an asterisk):
R for Research and Development, D for DoD, and C for Commercial.
Numbers assigned for commercial use of IP family protocols, but not
for interworking with the ARPA or DoD Internets are marked with an
astrisk preceeding the number.
For various reasons, the assigned numbers of networks are sometimes
changed. To ease the transition the old number will be listed as
well. These "old number" entries will be marked with a "T" following
the number and preceeding the name, and the network name will be the
suffixed "-TEMP".

Port Numbers
ASSIGNED PORT NUMBERS
Ports are used in the TCP [16,48] to name the ends of logical
connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of
providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is
defined. This list specifies the port used by the server process as
its contact port. The contact port is sometimes called the
"well-known port".
To the extent possible, these same port assignments are used with the
UDP [16,46].
The assigned ports use a small portion of the possible port numbers.
The assigned ports have all except the low order eight bits cleared
to zero. The low order eight bits are specified here.

Autonomous System Numbers
ASSIGNED AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM NUMBERS
The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) [53] specifies that groups of
gateways may form autonomous systems. The EGP provides a 16-bit
field for identifying such systems. The values of this field are
registered here.

ARPANET Link Numbers
ASSIGNED ARPANET LINK NUMBERS
The word "link" here refers to a field in the original ARPANET
Host/IMP interface leader. The link was originally defined as an
8-bit field. Later specifications defined this field as the
"Message-ID" with a length of 12 bits. The name link now refers to
the high order 8 bits of this 12-bit message-id field. The low order
4 bits of the message-id field are to be zero unless explicitly
specified otherwise for the particular protocol used on that link.
The Host/IMP interface is defined in BBN Report 1822 [2].

APPENDIX A
APPENDIX A
----------
This appendix summarizes the agreements reached by the DDN/PMO and
DARPA at a September 1982 meeting concerning the allocation and
assignment of the various numbers associated with DoD Protocol
Standards and the DARPA Experimental Standards.
Recommended policy is summarized for each type of number assignment
of concern:
Network Identifiers used by the Internet Protocol
It is recommended that the available number spaces for class A,
B, and C network addresses be allocated among R&D, DoD and
commercial uses, and that assignments of these addresses be the
responsibility respectively of DARPA, DCA PCCO/DDN and the
National Bureau of Standards. The recommended allocations are
given below.
Class A (highest-order bit 0)
R&D allocation: 8 nets
DoD allocation: 24 nets
Commercial allocation: 94 nets
Reserved Addresses: 0,127
Class B (highest-order bits 1-0)
R&D allocation: 1024 nets
DoD allocation: 3072 nets
Commercial allocation: 12286 nets
Reserved Addresses: 0,16383
Class C (highest-order bits 1-1-0)
R&D allocation: 65536 nets
DoD allocation: 458725 nets
Commercial allocation: 1572862 nets
Reserved Addresses: 0,2097151
Class D (highest-order bits 1-1-1)
All addresses in this class are reserved for future use,
possibly in support of multicast services. They should be
allocated to R&D use for the present.
Reynolds & Postel [Page 24]
Assigned Numbers RFC 870
APPENDIX A
Within the R&D community, it will be the policy that network
identifiers will only be granted to applicants who show
evidence that they are acquiring standard Bolt Beranek and
Newman gateway software or have implemented or are acquiring a
gateway meeting the Exterior Gateway Protocol requirements.
Acquisition of the Berkeley BSD 4.2 UNIX software might be
considered evidence of the latter.
Experimental networks which later become operational need not
be renumbered. Rather, the identifiers could be moved from R&D
to DoD or Commercial status. Thus, network identifiers may
change state among R&D, DoD and commercial, but the number of
identifiers allocated to each use should remain within the
limits indicated above. To make possible this fluid
assignment, it is recommended that the network identifier
spaces not be allocated by simple partition but rather by
specific assignment.
Protocol Identifiers
In general, all assignments will be made by the R&D community,
but any numbers which become R&D, DoD, national or
international standards will be marked as such in this RFC.
Protocol identifiers 0 and 255 are reserved.
95 protocol identifiers are allocated for assignment to DoD
standards, 32 for R&D use, and 127 for Commercial, national or
international standards.
Port Numbers
A recommendation for allocation and assignment of port numbers
is to be developed jointly by representatives of the ICCB and
PSTP.
ARPANET Link Numbers
All unnecessary link number usage will be eliminated by joint
effort of the ICCB, PSTP and BBN.
BBN will give consideration to the use of link numbers to
promote interoperability among various ARPANET interfaces and
report to the ICCB, PSTP and DDN/PMO. Examples of possible
interoperability issues are:
(i) interoperability of 1822 and X.25 interfaces
(ii) interoperability of SIP and other interfaces
(iii) logical addressing or other special services
Reynolds & Postel [Page 25]
Assigned Numbers RFC 870
APPENDIX A
IP Version Numbers
These numbers will be assigned only by the R&D community for
the purpose of exploring alternatives in internet protocol
service expansion, such as inclusion of stream protocol (ST)
services.
TCP, IP and Telnet Option Identifiers
These numbers will be assigned by the R&D community. Any
permanent or experimental assignments will be identified in the
documents specifying those protcols.
Implementation:
This policy recommendation has not been fully implemented as yet.
Currently, Joyce Reynolds is acting coordinator for all number
assignments.
