Abstract:

   [RFC7605] provides guidance on the use of port numbers and the
   criteria for new port assignments, including a test for whether a
   proposed service is distinct from an existing service.  It gives the
   example that "an automated system that happens to use HTTP framing --
   but is not primarily accessed by a browser -- might be a new
   service."  It also might not.  This document clarifies the
   application of the distinct-protocol test in [RFC7605] Section 7.1 to
   services built on HTTP as a substrate, in light of HTTP's evolution
   since its publication, and provides guidance to applicants and
   reviewers on when an HTTP-based service qualifies for a new port
   assignment and when it does not.
