+                 TCP Port Service Multiplexer (TCPMUX)
+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This RFC proposes an Internet standard which can be used by future
+   TCP services instead of using 'well-known ports'.  Distribution of
+   this memo is unlimited.
+
+Overview
+
+   Ports are used in the TCP to name the ends of logical connections
+   which carry long term conversations.  For the purpose of providing
+   services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined.  The
+   contact port is sometimes called the "well-known port".  Standard TCP
+   services are assigned unique well-known port numbers in the range of
+   0-255.  These ports are of limited number and are typically only
+   assigned to official Internet protocols.
+
+   This RFC defines a protocol to contact multiple services on a single
+   well-known TCP port using a service name instead of a well-known
+   number.  In addition, private protocols can make use of the service
+   without needing an official TCP port assignment.
+
+The Protocol
+
+   A TCP client connects to a foreign host on TCP port 1.  It sends the
+   service name followed by a carriage-return line-feed <CRLF>.  The
+   service name is never case sensitive.  The server replies with a
+   single character indicating positive ("+") or negative ("-")
+   acknowledgment, immediately followed by an optional message of
+   explanation, terminated with a <CRLF>.  If the reply was positive,
+   the selected protocol begins; otherwise the connection is closed.
+
+Service Names
+
+   The name "HELP" is reserved.  If received, the server will output a
+   multi-line message and then close the connection.  The reply to the
+   name "HELP" must be a list of the service names of the supported
+   services, one name per line.
+
+   The names listed in the "Protocol and Service Names" section of the
+   current edition of "Assigned Numbers" (RFC-1010 at this time) are
+   reserved to have exactly the definitions specified there.  Services

+RFC 1078                         TCPMUX                    November 1988
+
+
+   with distinct assigned ports must be available on those ports and may
+   optionally be available via this port service multiplexer on port 1.
+
+   Private protocols should use a service name that has a high chance of
+   being unique.  A good practice is to prefix the protocol name with
+   the name of your organization.
+
+   Multiple versions of a protocol can suffix the service name with a
+   protocol version number.
+
+Implementation Notes
+
+   A negative reply will typically be returned by the port-multiplexing
+   process when it can't find the requested service.  A positive reply
+   will typically be returned by the process invoked by the port
+   multiplexer for the requested service.
