Hi Behcet, Excluding 0-4095 range is not justified in those documents. Excluding by default this range may be considered by some service providers as waste of ports.
Excluding 0-1023 range may be understood by "port utilisation fairness" but still be considered as an inefficiency if it is excluded by the algorithm and not let to the taste of service providers to assign or not that range. Sharing the 0-1023 between several users may be useless (e.g. is valid scenario to assign port 80 without port 443?).

Why? Shouldn't they be excluded? Regards, Behcet _______________________________________________ Softwires mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/softwires
