Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) A. Morton, Ed. Request for Comments: 8545 AT&T Labs Updates: 4656, 5357 G. Mirsky, Ed. Category: Standards Track ZTE Corp. ISSN: 2070-1721 March 2019 Well-Known Port Assignments for the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) Abstract This memo explains the motivation and describes the reassignment of well-known ports for the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) for control and measurement. It also clarifies the meaning and composition of these Standards Track protocol names for the industry. This memo updates RFCs 4656 and 5357, in terms of the UDP well-known port assignments, and it clarifies the complete OWAMP and TWAMP protocol composition for the industry. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 7841.

Introduction The IETF IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) Working Group first developed the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP), as specified in [RFC4656]. Further protocol development to support testing resulted in the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP), as specified in [RFC5357]. Both OWAMP and TWAMP require the implementation of a control and mode negotiation protocol (OWAMP-Control and TWAMP-Control) that employs the reliable transport services of TCP (including security configuration and key derivation). The control protocols arrange for the configuration and management of test sessions using the associated test protocol (OWAMP-Test or TWAMP-Test) on UDP transport. The IETF recognizes the value of assigning a well-known UDP port to the OWAMP-Test and TWAMP-Test protocols and also recognizes that this goal can be easily arranged through port reassignments. 2.
