ASSIGNED NUMBERS
Status of this Memo
This memo is an official status report on the numbers used in
protocols in the ARPA-Internet community.
Introduction
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, network number,
etc., 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" [31] or in the old
"ARPANET Protocol Handbook" [32] prepared by the NIC. Some of the
items listed are undocumented. Further information on protocols can
be found in the memo "Official Protocols" [83].
In all cases the name and mailbox of the responsible individual is
indicated. In the lists that follow, a bracketed entry, e.g.,
[31,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. Whenever possible, this "iii" is a NIC
Ident.

Assigned Numbers RFC 900
Network Numbers
ASSIGNED NETWORK NUMBERS
The network numbers listed here are used as internet addresses by the
Internet Protocol (IP) [31,71]. 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 900
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 USC-ISIF.ARPA 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 four catagories of users of Internet Addresses: Research,
Defense, Government (Non-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: R for
Research, D for Defense, G for Government, and C for Commercial (see
Appendix A for further details on this division of the network
identification).
Network numbers are assigned for networks that are connected to the
ARPA-Internet and DDN-Internet, and for independent networks that use
the IP family protocols (these are usually commercial). These
independent networks are marked with an asterisk preceeding the
number.
The administrators of independent networks must apply separately for
permission to interconnect their network with either the
ARPA-Internet of the DDN-Internet. Independent networks need not be
listed in the working tables of either the ARPA-Internet or
DDN-Internet hosts or gateways.
For various reasons, the assigned numbers of networks are sometimes
changed. To ease the transition the old number will be listed for a
transition period 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 suffixed "-TEMP".

Port Numbers
ASSIGNED PORT NUMBERS
Ports are used in the TCP [31,72] 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 [31,70].
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.

ARPANET Logical Addresses
ASSIGNED ARPANET LOGICAL ADDRESSES
The ARPANET facility for "logical addressing" is described in RFC 878
[49]. A portion of the possible logical addresses are reseved for
standard uses.
There are 49,152 possible logical host addresses. Of these, 256 are
reserved for assignment to well-known functions. Assignments for
well-known functions are made by Joyce Reynolds. Assignments for
other logical host addresses are made by the NIC.

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 Host/IMP
interface is defined in BBN Report 1822 [7].
The low-order 4 bits of the message-id field are called the sub-link.
Unless explicitly specified otherwise for a particular protocol,
there is no sender to receiver significance to the sub-link. The
sender may use the sub-link in any way he chooses (it is returned in
the RFNM by the destination IMP), the receiver should ignore the
sub-link.

Network Numbers
The network numbers in class A, B, and C network addresses are
allocated among Research, Defense, Government (Non-Defense) and
Commercial uses.
Class A (highest-order bit 0)
Research allocation: 8
Defense allocation: 24
Government allocation: 24
Commercial allocation: 94
Reserved Addresses: (0, 127)
Total 128
Class B (highest-order bits 1-0)
Research allocation: 1024
Defense allocation: 3072
Government allocation: 3072
Commercial allocation: 12286
Reserved Addresses: (0, 16383)

Class C (highest-order bits 1-1-0)
Research allocation: 65536
Defense allocation: 458725
Government allocation: 458725
Commercial allocation: 1572862
Reserved Addresses: (0, 2097151)
Total 2097152
Class D (highest-order bits 1-1-1)
All addresses in this class are reserved for future use.
Within the Research community, 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.
Reynolds & Postel [Page 42]
Assigned Numbers RFC 900
Appendix A
Experimental networks which later become operational need not be
renumbered. Rather, the identifiers could be moved from Research
to Defense, Government or Commercial status. Thus, network
identifiers may change state among Research, Defense, Government
and Commercial, but the number of identifiers allocated to each
use must remain within the limits indicated above. To make
possible this fluid assignment, the network identifier spaces are
not allocated by simple partition, but rather by specific
assignment.
Protocol Identifiers
These assignments are shared by the four communities.
Port Numbers
These assignments are shared by the four communities.
ARPANET Link Numbers
These assignments are shared by the four communities.
IP Version Numbers
These assignments are shared by the four communities.
TCP, IP and Telnet Option Identifiers
These assignments are shared by the four communities.
Implementation:
Joyce Reynolds is the coordinator for all number assignments.
