A request to IANA would result in getting 7016 and 7017 so far as I can tell. (Or something else if you wanted something else, but those seem like the most reasonable choices.) You can generally ask IANA for the port numbers that you want. I think it would be better to register new port numbers unless there's a substantial backward-compatibility benefit for existing installations to reusing the current port numbers. I don't have a good feel of the combined current RxOSD and MR-AFS installation base, though. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
