Introduction + + This document does not define any new protocols. It is intended only + to create the initial state of the IANA databases for the SSH + protocol and also contains instructions for future assignments. + Except for one HISTORIC algorithm generally regarded as obsolete, + this document does not define any new protocols or number ranges not + already defined in: [SSH-ARCH], [SSH-TRANS], [SSH-USERAUTH], + [SSH-CONNECT]. + + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + +2.

Listing their names here does not mean that they + endorse this document, but that they have contributed to it. + +3. Conventions Used in This Document + +3.1. RFC 2119 Keywords + + All documents related to the SSH protocols shall use the keywords + "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", + "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" to describe + requirements. These keywords are to be interpreted as described in + [RFC2119]. + +3.2. RFC 2434 Keywords + + The keywords "PRIVATE USE", "HIERARCHICAL ALLOCATION", "FIRST COME + FIRST SERVED", "EXPERT REVIEW", "SPECIFICATION REQUIRED", "IESG + APPROVAL", "IETF CONSENSUS", and "STANDARDS ACTION" that appear in + this document when used to describe namespace allocation are to be + interpreted as described in [RFC2434]. These designations are + repeated in this document for clarity. + + PRIVATE USE - For private or local use only, with the type and + purpose defined by the local site. No attempt is made to prevent + multiple sites from using the same value in different (and + incompatible) ways. There is no need for IANA to review such + assignments and assignments are not generally useful for + interoperability. + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + + HIERARCHICAL ALLOCATION - Delegated managers can assign values + provided they have been given control over that part of the name + space. IANA controls the higher levels of the namespace according to + one of the other policies. + + FIRST COME FIRST SERVED - Anyone can obtain an assigned number, so + long as they provide a point of contact and a brief description of + what the value would be used for. For numbers, the exact value is + generally assigned by the IANA; with names, specific names are + usually requested. + + EXPERT REVIEW - approval by a Designated Expert is required. + + SPECIFICATION REQUIRED - Values and their meaning must be documented + in an RFC or other permanent and readily available reference, in + sufficient detail so that interoperability between independent + implementations is possible. + + IESG APPROVAL - New assignments must be approved by the IESG, but + there is no requirement that the request be documented in an RFC + (though the IESG has discretion to request documents or other + supporting materials on a case-by-case basis). + + IETF CONSENSUS - New values are assigned through the IETF consensus + process. Specifically, new assignments are made via RFCs approved by + the IESG. Typically, the IESG will seek input on prospective + assignments from appropriate persons (e.g., a relevant Working Group + if one exists). + + STANDARDS ACTION - Values are assigned only for Standards Track RFCs + approved by the IESG. + +3.3. Protocol Fields and Values + + Protocol fields and possible values to fill them are defined in this + set of documents. Protocol fields will be defined in the message + definitions. As an example, SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA is defined as + follows. + + byte SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA + uint32 recipient channel + string data + + Throughout these documents, when the fields are referenced, they will + appear within single quotes. When values to fill those fields are + referenced, they will appear within double quotes. Using the above + example, possible values for 'data' are "foo" and "bar". + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + +4. IANA Considerations + + This entire document is the IANA considerations for the SSH protocol, + as defined in [SSH-ARCH], [SSH-TRANS], [SSH-USERAUTH], [SSH-CONNECT]. + This section contains conventions used in naming the namespaces, the + initial state of the registry, and instructions for future + assignments. + +4.1. Message Numbers + + The Message Number is a byte value that describes the payload of a + packet. + +4.1.1. Conventions + + Protocol packets have message numbers in the range 1 to 255. These + numbers are allocated as follows: + + Transport layer protocol: + + 1 to 19 Transport layer generic (e.g., disconnect, ignore, + debug, etc.) + 20 to 29 Algorithm negotiation + 30 to 49 Key exchange method specific (numbers can be reused + for different authentication methods) + + User authentication protocol: + + 50 to 59 User authentication generic + 60 to 79 User authentication method specific (numbers can be + reused for different authentication methods) + + Connection protocol: + + 80 to 89 Connection protocol generic + 90 to 127 Channel related messages + + Reserved for client protocols: + + 128 to 191 Reserved + + Local extensions: + + 192 to 255 Local extensions + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + +4.1.2.

Future Assignments + + Requests for assignments of new message numbers in the range of 1 to + 29, 50 to 59, and 80 to 127 MUST be done through the STANDARDS ACTION + method, as described in [RFC2434]. + + The meanings of message numbers in the range of 30 to 49 are specific + to the key exchange method in use, and their meaning will be + specified by the definition of that method. + + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + + The meanings of message numbers in the range of 60 to 79 are specific + to the user authentication method in use, and their meaning will be + specified by the definition of that method. + + Requests for assignments of new message numbers in the range of 128 + to 191 MUST be done through the IETF CONSENSUS method, as described + in [RFC2434]. + + The IANA will not control the message numbers in the range of 192 + through 255. This range will be left for PRIVATE USE. + +4.2. Disconnection Messages Reason Codes and Descriptions + + The Disconnection Message 'reason code' is a uint32 value. The + associated Disconnection Message 'description' is a human-readable + message that describes the disconnect reason. + +4.2.1. Conventions + + Protocol packets containing the SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT message MUST have + Disconnection Message 'reason code' values in the range of 0x00000001 + to 0xFFFFFFFF.

Future Assignments + + Disconnection Message 'reason code' values MUST be assigned + sequentially. Requests for assignments of new Disconnection Message + 'reason code' values, and their associated Disconnection Message + 'description' text, in the range of 0x00000010 through 0xFDFFFFFF, + MUST be done through the IETF CONSENSUS method, as described in + [RFC2434]. The IANA will not assign Disconnection Message 'reason + code' values in the range of 0xFE000000 through 0xFFFFFFFF. + Disconnection Message 'reason code' values in that range are left for + PRIVATE USE, as described in [RFC2434]. + +4.3. Channel Connection Failure Reason Codes and Descriptions + + The Channel Connection Failure 'reason code' is a uint32 value. The + associated Channel Connection Failure 'description' text is a human- + readable message that describes the channel connection failure + reason. This is described in [SSH-CONNECT]. + +4.3.1. Conventions + + Protocol packets containing the SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILURE message + MUST have Channel Connection Failure 'reason code' values in the + range of 0x00000001 to 0xFFFFFFFF. + +4.3.2. Initial Assignments + + The initial assignments for the 'reason code' values and + 'description' values are given in the table below.

Requests for assignments of new Channel Connection + Failure 'reason code' values, and their associated Channel Connection + Failure 'description string', in the range of 0x00000005 to + 0xFDFFFFFF MUST be done through the IETF CONSENSUS method, as + described in [RFC2434]. The IANA will not assign Channel Connection + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + + Failure 'reason code' values in the range of 0xFE000000 to + 0xFFFFFFFF. Channel Connection Failure 'reason code' values in that + range are left for PRIVATE USE, as described in [RFC2434]. + +4.3.4. Notes about the PRIVATE USE Range + + While it is understood that the IANA will have no control over the + range of 0xFE000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF, this range will be split in two + parts and administered by the following conventions. + + o The range of 0xFE000000 to 0xFEFFFFFF is to be used in conjunction + with locally assigned channels. For example, if a channel is + proposed with a 'channel type' of "example_session@example.com" + but fails, then the server will respond with either a 'reason + code' assigned by the IANA (as listed above and in the range of + 0x00000001 to 0xFDFFFFFF), or with a locally assigned value in the + range of 0xFE000000 to 0xFEFFFFFF. Naturally, if the server does + not understand the proposed 'channel type', even if it is a + locally defined 'channel type', then the 'reason code' MUST be + 0x00000003, as described above. If the server does understand the + 'channel type', but the channel still fails to open, then the + server SHOULD respond with a locally assigned 'reason code' value + that is consistent with the proposed local 'channel type'. It is + assumed that practitioners will first attempt to use the IANA- + assigned 'reason code' values and then document their locally + assigned 'reason code' values. + + o There are no restrictions or suggestions for the range starting + with 0xFF. No interoperability is expected for anything used in + this range. Essentially, it is for experimentation. + +4.4. Extended Channel Data Transfer data_type_code and Data + + The Extended Channel Data Transfer 'data_type_code' is a uint32 + value. The associated Extended Channel Data Transfer 'data' is a + human-readable message that describes the type of data allowed to be + transferred in the channel. + +4.4.1. Conventions + + Protocol packets containing the SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA message + MUST have Extended Channel Data Transfer 'data_type_code' values in + the range of 0x00000001 to 0xFFFFFFFF. This is described in + [SSH-CONNECT]. + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + +4.4.2. Initial Assignments + + The initial assignments for the 'data_type_code' values and 'data' + values are given in the table below. Note that the value for the + 'data_type_code' is given in decimal format for readability, but the + values are actually uint32 values. + + Symbolic name data_type_code + ------------- -------------- + SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR 1 + +4.4.3. Future Assignments + + Extended Channel Data Transfer 'data_type_code' values MUST be + assigned sequentially. Requests for assignments of new Extended + Channel Data Transfer 'data_type_code' values, and their associated + Extended Channel Data Transfer 'data' strings, in the range of + 0x00000002 to 0xFDFFFFFF, MUST be done through the IETF CONSENSUS + method, as described in [RFC2434]. The IANA will not assign Extended + Channel Data Transfer 'data_type_code' values in the range of + 0xFE000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF. Extended Channel Data Transfer + 'data_type_code' values in that range are left for PRIVATE USE, as + described in [RFC2434]. + +4.5. Pseudo-Terminal Encoded Terminal Modes + + SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST messages with a "pty-req" string MUST contain + 'encoded terminal modes'. The 'encoded terminal modes' value is a + byte stream of opcode-argument pairs. + +4.5.1. Conventions + + Protocol packets containing the SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST message with + a "pty-req" string MUST contain an 'encoded terminal modes' value. + The opcode values consist of a single byte and are in the range of 1 + to 255. Opcodes 1 to 159 have a uint32 argument. Opcodes 160 to 255 + are not yet defined. + +4.5.2. Initial Assignments + + The following table identifies the initial assignments of the opcode + values that are used in the 'encoded terminal modes' value. + + + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + + opcode mnemonic description + ------ -------- ----------- + 0 TTY_OP_END Indicates end of options. + 1 VINTR Interrupt character; 255 if none.

Future Assignments + + Requests for assignments of new opcodes and their associated + arguments MUST be done through the IETF CONSENSUS method, as + described in [RFC2434]. + +4.6. Names + + In the following sections, the values for the name spaces are + textual. The conventions and instructions to the IANA for future + assignments are given in this section. The initial assignments are + given in their respective sections. + + + + + + + +Lehtinen & Lonvick Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 4250 SSH Protocol Assigned Numbers January 2006 + + +4.6.1. Conventions for Names + + All names registered by the IANA in the following sections MUST be + printable US-ASCII strings, and MUST NOT contain the characters at- + sign ("@"), comma (","), whitespace, control characters (ASCII codes + 32 or less), or the ASCII code 127 (DEL). Names are case-sensitive, + and MUST NOT be longer than 64 characters. + + A provision is made here for locally extensible names. The IANA will + not register, and will not control, names with the at-sign in them. + + Names with the at-sign in them will have the format of + "name@domainname" (without the double quotes) where the part + preceding the at-sign is the name. The format of the part preceding + the at-sign is not specified; however, these names MUST be printable + US-ASCII strings, and MUST NOT contain the comma character (","), + whitespace, control characters (ASCII codes 32 or less), or the ASCII + code 127 (DEL). They MUST have only a single at-sign in them. The + part following the at-sign MUST be a valid, fully qualified internet + domain name [RFC1034] controlled by the person or organization + defining the name. Names are case-sensitive, and MUST NOT be longer + than 64 characters. It is up to each domain how it manages its local + namespace. It has been noted that these names resemble STD 11 + [RFC0822] email addresses. This is purely coincidental and has + nothing to do with STD 11 [RFC0822]. An example of a locally defined + name is "ourcipher-cbc@example.com" (without the double quotes). + +4.6.2.

Implementations should treat these names as opaque + identifiers and should not assume any relationship between the groups + used by SSH and the groups defined for IKE. + + The following table identifies the initial assignments of the key + exchange methods. + + Method name Reference + ------------ --------- + diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 [SSH-TRANS, Section 8.1] + diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 [SSH-TRANS, Section 8.2] + +4.11.
