▲The [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority]] (IANA) officially assigned port 4605 to the SixChat End2End Direct secure messaging protocol created by Sixscape Communications, Pte. Ltd. The assignment was issued by IANA on 11 September 2014, and is listed in the official IANA resource registry at https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers
There are a very limited number of port numbers, which are assigned by IANA for protocols recognized as viable, complying with current protocol design standards, and not already covered by existing Internet standards. For example, port 25 was assigned to the SMTP email protocol many years ago. This provides a standard port and reduces conflicts with other protocols. The technical review of the SixChat protocol was performed by [[Lars Eggert]], the distinguished chair of the [[Internet Research Task Force]].
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
Nodes supporting End2End Direct messaging are neither client nor server, but must be able to originate and accept network connections (hence have characteristics of both clients and servers). Such a node is called a "User Agent".
