A TCP Option for Port Names
draft-touch-tcp-portnames-00.txt
...
Abstract
This document specifies a new TCP option that specifies services by a
string name. This option separates the use of port numbers for
connection demultiplexing from their use as a service identifier. The
option allows a larger number of concurrent connections for a
particular service, as well as potentially enabling more explicitly
coordination of services behind NATs and firewalls. This option
should be supported in new TCP implementations.
