Abstract

This document discusses issues with assigning an IP address to a host interface such that the IP address may only be used with a restricted set of ports. This concept is referred to herein as a port- restricted IP address. A number of issues with this concept are documented, and the issues are contrasted with other approaches to dealing with IPv4 address exhaustion.
