Socket Number List

This is a second pass at the specification of the socket numbers. More sockets have been made available for experimental functions, some new sockets have been assigned for network standard functions, host specific functions and experimental functions, and the list of available sockets for server hosts has been updated.

Following are the current assignments for socket numbers used for public functions. Note that a socket number is a 40 bit quantity, the first 8 bits being the host specification, the next 24 bits being site specific, and the last 8 bits being user specified -- these last 8 bits are called the AEN [it stands for, cleverly enough, Another Eightbit Number].

For the assignments here the value in the host field ranges across al hosts (unless otherwise specified), the value in the 24 bit field is zero, and the AEN is indicated here.

General Assignments:

Sockets Assignment

0 - 63 Network Wide Standard Functions 64 - 127 Host Specific Functions 128 - 223 Reserved for Future Use 224 - 255 Any Experimental Function

Particular Assignments:

Socket Assignment

1 Telnet 3 File Transfer 5 Remote Job Entry 7 Echo 9 Discard 11 Systat or who-is-on function 13 Date-Time function 15 Netstat or who-is-up function 19 Character Generator [e.g. TTYTST]

65 Speech Data Base @ 11-tx-2 (74) 67 69 CPYNET 71 NETRJS [EBCDIC] 73 NETRJS [ASCII] 75 NETRJS [TTY]

241 NCP Measurement 243 Survey Measurement 245 LINK 247 RSEXEC 249 RSEXEC 251 RSEXEC

The specifications for the assigned functions can be found in the documents listed here:

Telnet NIC 7104 File Transfer NIC 7104 Remote Job Entry NIC 7104 Echo RFC 347 Discard RFC 348 Character Generator RFC 429 Speech Data Base SUR 37 Datacomputer [Murray @ CCA] NCP Measurement RFC 388 Survey Data [Kampa @ NMC] LINK [Bressler @ BBN] RSEXEC [Thomas @ BBN]

There are several hosts performing public services on sockets which conflict with the above scheme. We hope we can resolve these conflicts with a minimum of disruption.
