Port Control Protocol (PCP) Extension for Port-Set Allocation
Abstract
In some use cases, e.g., Lightweight 4over6, the client may require
not just one port, but a port set. This document defines an
extension to the Port Control Protocol (PCP) that allows clients to
manipulate a set of ports as a whole. This is accomplished using a
new MAP option: PORT_SET.
