RDS should do that right now, before the number is compiled into the code! The registry is at http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers and the application form is http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/usr-port-number.pl It's supposed to be a two-week process, but it can take longer if you have special requests like a specific port number, etc. > >> Not really much we can do about the general port space collision problem >> unless and until the network stack guys are willing to cooperate though. I don't think it has anything to do with the network stack code. It's basically an Internet license plate, issued by a separate authority.
