RFC 7605: Recommendations on Using Assigned Transport Port Numbers

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document provides recommendations to designers of application and service protocols on how to use the transport protocol port number space and when to request a port assignment from IANA. It provides designer guidance to requesters or users of port numbers on how to interact with IANA using the processes defined in RFC 6335; thus, this document complements (but does not update) that document.
