Re: ietf-nntp Mention port 433 in draft?

[Stan Barber <[e-mail]>]

I just checked with IANA's list of port numbers and there is nothing in that list that indicates that
port 433 has anything to do with news or NNTP. Here is exactly what is listed.

iasd            432/tcp    IASD  
iasd            432/udp    IASD  
#                          Nir Baroz <[e-mail]>
nnsp            433/tcp    NNSP
nnsp            433/udp    NNSP
#                          Rob Robertson <[e-mail]>
mobileip-agent  434/tcp    MobileIP-Agent
mobileip-agent  434/udp    MobileIP-Agent
mobilip-mn      435/tcp    MobilIP-MN
mobilip-mn      435/udp    MobilIP-MN

My guess is that Nir Baroz may be able to shed some light on exactly what 433 is and how it works.
So, I see no reason to include it or define the protocol that runs on it as part of the NNTPEXT
working group.
