Kuehlewind, Ed. 3 Internet-Draft ETH Zurich 4 Intended status: Standards Track S. Tanamal 5 Expires: August 5, 2019 February 1, 2019 7 Reassignment of System Ports to the IESG 8 draft-kuehlewind-system-ports-04 10 Abstract 12 In the IANA Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry, 13 a large number of System Ports is currently assigned to individuals 14 or companies who have registered the port for the use with a certain 15 protocol before RFC6335 was published. For some of these ports, RFCs 16 exist that describe the respective protocol; for others, RFCs are 17 under development that define, re-define, or assign the protocol used 18 for the respective port, e.g. in case of so-far unused UDP ports that 19 have been registered together with the respective TCP port. In these 20 cases the IESG has the change control about the protocol used on the 21 port (as described in an RFC) but does not have the change control 22 about the port usage itself. Currently, to transfer the change 23 control to the IESG, the original assignee has to be contacted to 24 initialize this transfer. As it is not always possible to get in 25 touch with the original assignee, e.g. because of out-dated contact 26 information or other reasons, and the current practice of case-by- 27 case changes does not scale well, this document instructs IANA to 28 perform actions with the goal to reassigns all System Ports to the 29 IESG that have been assigned to individuals prior to the publication 30 of RFC6335. 32 Status of This Memo 34 This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the 35 provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. 37 Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering 38 Task Force (IETF).

Introduction 66 RFC 6335 [RFC6335] requires System Ports, also known as the Well 67 Known Ports, in the range from 0 to 1023, to be assigned by the "IETF 68 Review" or "IESG Approval" procedures [RFC8126]. For assignments 69 done through RFCs published via the "IETF Document Stream" [RFC4844], 70 the Assignee will be the IESG with the IETF Chair as the Contact. 72 However, ports that were assigned before the publication of RFC 6335, 73 are often assigned to individuals, even if they are part of the 74 System Port range and have a corresponding RFC. Besides the fact 75 that System Ports are widely used by IETF protocols where the 76 protocol specification is under IETF change control as defined in an 77 RFC but the port itself may not, this situation is especially 78 problematic if the assignment gets or needs to be changed. The 79 Assignee can change the assignment without confirmation of the IETF. 80 However, if the IETF process requires a change, including de- 81 assignment, this cannot be done without the agreement of the original 82 Assignee. Furthermore, no procedure is defined to change the 83 assignment in cases where the original Assignee is not reachable or 84 not available anymore. 86 This document instructs IANA to perform actions with the goal to re- 87 assign all currently assigned System Ports in the range from 0 to 88 1023 to the IESG, which will also help to align existing entries in 89 the "Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry" with 90 the current procedures defined in RFC 6335. 92 2. IANA Considerations 94 IANA [will perform/has performed] action to re-assign all System 95 Ports in the port range from 0 to 1023 that are currently assigned in 96 the "Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry" 97 (https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service- 98 names-port-numbers.xhtml) to the IESG as Assignee and 99 the IETF Chair as Contact. The original Assignee 100 and respective contact information should be preserved as an 101 Assignment note "Originally assigned to $Assignee <$Contact>" where 102 $Assignee is the current value in the Assignee column, and $Contact 103 is the current value in the Contact column. 105 To perform the assignment, IANA is requested to contact the current 106 Assignees by email with the registered email address to request the 107 transfer. If the provided email address is not valid anymore, IANA 108 is requested to report this to the IESG, and the IESG is requested to 109 perform actions, such as sending requests to the ietf@ietf.org 110 mailing list to determine updated contact information. If these 111 actions do not show success within 4 weeks, the IESG is requested to 112 make a decision about the re-assignment of the port in question. 114 If the current Assignee does not agree to the re-assignment or does 115 not reply within four weeks, IANA is requested to inform the IESG 116 which then is requested to make a decision about the re-assignment of 117 the port in question. 119 Before the start of this re-assignment process, IANA [will also 120 update/has further updated] the Reference column with the following 121 reference for the listed ports that have a corresponding published 122 RFC that uses this port number, as well as the Assignment Notes 123 column for historic RFCs: 125 +-----------+----------+--------------+-------------+---------------+ 126 | Service |

Security Considerations 298 This draft instructs IANA to perform actions on the Service Name and 299 Transport Protocol Port Number Registry. It does not change the use 300 of the ports or protocols running on them. Therefore the security of 301 these protocols is not impacted by these changes to the registry. 303 4. References 305 4.1.
