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~
