well-known ports, since everyone should want to be using standard application services like bping, other snmp-like applications, and for deep space use, CDFP at least.. Standard 1 or 2 byte service numbers for the most common applications would be more efficient.<span style="color:rgb(47,85,151)"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="m_313055847690544806MsoPlainText">Why not all private? If a program (say, the Mars program) wants all nodes to be able to host a CFDP client that identifies itself as service number 65, then if a mission is launched later, and it wants to relay CFDP data through one
of the other Mars nodes, then it will have to use service number 65, or arrange with other nodes to use some other service number, which will take intervention by the operators of the other nodes.

<p class="m_313055847690544806MsoPlainText">This is the primary operational need to agree on some standard conventions for service numbers. I don’t think you want every DTN node in an IPN network to be able to pick its own service number for each application. (Some underlying
convergence layer choices in a relay situation may depend on knowledge of the application so the correct convergence layer may be chosen for the next hop, and if the service numbers aren’t standardized, it will be a crap shoot at any relay node.)<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_313055847690544806MsoPlainText">We’re trying to create an easily-interoperable DTN-enabled network, and I don’t see why standardized service numbers are controversial. Is it a matter of food-fights between “registry organizations”? Is it a matter of how many bytes
you use because of the CBOR encoding? IDK, but I do think making service numbers all “private” is a really bad idea – it just kicks the can down the road and leaves room for a lot of chaos as the SSI and DTN scale up.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_313055847690544806MsoPlainText">IIRC, there were three major areas of discussion related to these numbers: encoding size, allocation policy, and registry ownership.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_313055847690544806MsoPlainText">The encoding size discussion noted that the CBOR encoding of service numbers creates a very small allocation of 1-byte encodings (0-23), a small allocation of 2-byte encodings (24-155), a moderate size allocation of 3-byte encodings
(256-65,535), and then 4+ byte encodings that give us the remainder of the 64bit service number space.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_313055847690544806MsoPlainText">The allocation policy discussion noted that there was a good case for "private use" service numbers for mission-specific use cases (commanding, telemetry) that do not otherwise map to a standardized protocol. These mission specific service
numbers should not be standardized (they are mission specific) and there should be some allowance for them in the small encoding space since they will be used by missions often (perhaps most often).<u></u><u></u></p>
