Hi Rakesh,
my apologies for the misspelling of your name.
Thank you for your kind consideration of the proposed update.
Regarding the definition of the range of the valid UDP port numbers,
draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-yang
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ippm-twamp-yang-13> uses type
dynamic-port-number as follows:
     typedef dynamic-port-number {
       type inet:port-number {
         range 49152..65535;
       }
       description "Dynamic range for port numbers.";
     }
to specify the valid range for a sender-udp-port. The range for a UDP port
number of a Session-Reflector has been specified slightly differently
because it includes the well-known port 862:
           leaf reflector-udp-port {
             type inet:port-number {
               range "862 | 49152..65535";
               }
             description
               "The destination UDP port number used in the
                TWAMP-Test (UDP) test packets belonging to this
                test session.";
           }
But, as we observe, in both cases definitions include the Dynamic/Private
range explicitly defined. I think that keeping STAMP specification
consistent with the TWAMP, TWAMP YANG data model in particular, in the way
the valid range of UDP ports is being specified, is beneficial to the STAMP
document. Hope you'll agree.

Regards,
Greg
