A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : The TCP Service Number Option (SNO) Author : Joe Touch Filename : draft-touch-tcpm-sno-04.txt Pages : 21 Date : 2015-10-15 Abstract: This document specifies a TCP option for service numbers. The current SYN destination port is used both to indicate the desired service and as a connection demultiplexing field. This option separates those two functions, retaining the current destination port solely for demultiplexing and indicating the service separately in a service number option (SNO). By decoupling these two functions, SNO allows a larger number of concurrent connections for a single service, as might be useful between fixed addresses of proxies.
