IoTivity decided to use random port numbers and there has been no discussion 
to change that. The port number is assigned by the OS from any of the non-
privileged unused port numbers at the time the application starts.

We had an inconclusive discussion about port number for services that aren't 
discoverable, but instead are well-known, like cloud services. That discussion 
didn't finish, so there are no conclusions yet.

But for now, we don't need assigned port numbers.
