Title: RPC Numbering Authority Transfer to IANA
State: Active
Authors: Robert Thurlow
Group: Network File System Version 4 (nfsv4)

Network services based on RPC [RFC 1831] use program numbers rather than
well known transport ports to permit clients to find them, and use
authentication flavor numbers to define the format of the authentication
data passed. The assignment of RPC program numbers and authentication
flavor numbers is still performed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. This is
inappropriate for an IETF standard protocol, as such work is done well by
the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). This document defines how
IANA will maintain and assign RPC program numbers and authentication flavor
numbers.
