Title: Should we be using higher port numbers (IANA guidelines) Post by: TreasureSeeker on July 15, 2013, 03:42:27 PM I've just been reading some stuff about ports on http://www.speedguide.net/ports.php :
Quote The port numbers are divided into three ranges: Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023 Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151 Dynamic (Private) Ports: 49152 through 65535 Well Known and Registered ports should not be used without IANA registration. Just wondering if we should really be using higher port numbers (49152 to 65535) in our setups (new coins, etc)? I'm posting this here in the altcoin forum as Bitcoin seems to be established on its port 8333.

So maybe we need a new range, 49153 through 64000 for clonecoins, that will still leave 64001 through 65535 for private stuff! :P Someone contact IANA! :D -MarkM- Title: Re: Should we be using higher port numbers (IANA guidelines) Post by: TreasureSeeker on July 15, 2013, 03:56:19 PM Yes, I can see the logic in staking out the turf.
Quote 49153 through 64000 for clonecoins Hee hee - that should just about be enough space.So if we're talking about a new p2pool for example, do you think above 49152 would be the best choice of port for pool connections or below?
