TCP port numbers for vty/ctrl/etc of 3rd-party programs
by Mychaela Falconia 03 Jan '24

Hello Osmocom community, I have a question about TCP port number assignment for programs using libosmovty. Every Osmo-official server program gets official port number assignments listed in the wiki, in PDF manuals etc - so far, so good. But what about non-Osmo-official 3rd-party programs that wish to use common Osmocom libraries, including the vty facility? Suppose that an operator of an Osmocom-based cellular network needs to develop some additional programs to satisfy some operational need, and some of these additional programs are long-lived server processes for which an Osmocom-style vty interface would be very useful. But implementing such a telnet vty i/f requires a TCP port number... Has anyone thought about designating an official range of TCP port numbers which would be recommended for vty/ctrl/etc ports of processes that use Osmocom libraries and extend Osmocom CNI in various ways, but aren't official Osmocom projects? M~
