Hi, all,

In response to some discussion on this mailing list, the following ID
has been submitted. It's intended to become a TCPM work item (thus the
header) if there's sufficient interest.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER DISCUSSION TO THAT LIST (tcpm at ietf.org)

For the original discussion, see the ietf at ietf.org archives, and look
for "Guidance needed on well known ports".

The draft available at the following URL until it's in the ID repositories:

                        A TCP Option for Port Names
                     draft-touch-tcp-portnames-00.txt
...
Abstract

   This document specifies a new TCP option that specifies services by a
   string name. This option separates the use of port numbers for
   connection demultiplexing from their use as a service identifier. The
   option allows a larger number of concurrent connections for a
   particular service, as well as potentially enabling more explicitly
   coordination of services behind NATs and firewalls. This option
   should be supported in new TCP implementations.
