Socket Number List
The czar of socket numbers [Jon Postel] has established the
following assignments for socket numbers used for public
functions. Note that a socket number is a 40 bit quantity, the
first 8 bits being the host specification, the next 24 bits being
site specific, and the last 8 bits being user specified - these
last 8 bits are called the AEN [it stands for, cleverly enough,
Another Eightbit Number].
For the assignments here the value in the host field ranges
across all hosts (unless otherwise specified), the value in the
24 bit field is zero, and the AEN is indicated here.
General Assignments:
Sockets Assignment
0 - 63 Network Wide Standard Functions
64 - 127 Host Specific Functions
128 - 239 Reserved for Future Use
240 - 255 Any Experimental Function
Particular Assignments:
Socket Assignment
1 Telnet
3 File Transfer
5 Remote Job Entry
7 Echo
9 Discard
19 Character Generator [e.g. TTYTST]
65 Speech Data Base @ ll-tx-2 (74)
67 Datacomputer @ cca (31)
241 NCP Measurement
243 Survey Measurement
245 LINK
The specifications for the assigned functions can be found in the
documents listed here:

RFC 433 Socket Number List 22 December 1972 Telnet RFC 318 File Transfer RFC 354 & RFC 385 Remote Job Entry RFC 407 Echo RFC 347 Discard RFC 348 Character Generator RFC 429 Speech Data Base SUR 37 Datacomputer [Murray @ CCA] NCP Measurment RFC 388 Survey Data [Kampe @ NMC] LINK [Bressler @ BBN] It has come to our attention that there are several hosts performing useful public services on sockets which conflict with the above scheme. We hope we can resolve this problem with a minimum of disruption. The following is a tabulation of socket numbers together with the services offered. This listing is presented as an aid to network users.
