In some use cases, e.g., Lightweight 4over6, the client may require
not just one port, but a port set.  This document defines an
extension to the Port Control Protocol (PCP) that allows clients to
manipulate a set of ports as a whole.  This is accomplished using a
new MAP option: PORT_SET.

This document is a product of the Port Control Protocol Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
