assigned numbers

   <standard> The {RFC} {STD 2} documenting the currently
   assigned values from several series of numbers used in network
   {protocol} implementations.  This RFC is updated periodically
   and, in any case, current information can be obtained from the
   {Internet Assigned Numbers Authority} (IANA).  If you are
   developing a protocol or application that will require the use
   of a link, {socket}, {port}, protocol, etc., you should
   contact the IANA to receive a number assignment.
