The choice of service name for this transport seems unfortunate; having a port
number registry with a service in it called 'port' may be witty but seems like a
source of future confusion.
I notice that IANA currently have a service name of 'pim-port' which seems a
better idea and one that I think that this I-D should adopt.

Subject: Last Call: <draft-ietf-pim-port-08.txt> (A Reliable TransportMechanism
for PIM) to Experimental RFC
The IESG has received a request from the Protocol Independent Multicast
WG (pim) to consider the following document:
- 'A Reliable Transport Mechanism for PIM'
<draft-ietf-pim-port-08.txt> as an Experimental RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2011-10-10. Exceptionally, comments
may be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
This document defines a reliable transport mechanism for the PIM
protocol for transmission of Join/Prune messages. This eliminates
the need for periodic Join/Prune message transmission and processing.
The reliable transport mechanism can use either TCP or SCTP as the
transport protocol.
