Re: Marking TCP/UDP Port 109 as "Historic"

Note also that RFC7605 deprecates the assignment of system ports anyway:

   >> Developers SHOULD NOT apply for System port number assignments
   because the increased privilege they are intended to provide is not
   always enforced.

So all of this is moot.

Note also that we’re suggesting - at most - that there be a *note* that the protocol is historic (this can be done for all currently historic), but really that’s irrelevant anyway. We don’t even have all ports tied to their corresponding RFCs either.

Overall, this is all unnecessary, IMO.

See my quote from RFC 6335. Of course re-assignment of de-assigned ports would only happen after all never-assigned ports, of the same type, have been assigned.

I agree!

Is there a timeline by which port 109 could be reassigned?

Would we just put this at the end of the list of unassigned <1024 ports?
Or is that a separate decision?
