Florian,

I can submit a request to IANA if you prefer, but I don't know what the turn-around time will be. Official IANA assignment would benefit everybody and your help is much appreciated. So please submit IANA request.

I filled out the port number and multicast forms last week.

I've already received a Multicast address, ticket [IANA #656814]:

224.0.23.178 JDP Java Discovery Protocol

Also listed under <http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses>. (The way things work, it's listed under the requestor. But the address is yours.)

I was asked to pass on the following comment:

"Approved. But please tell them to consider cases where different networks (like many universities around the world) have multicast connectivity, and applications in one network discovering applications in totally unrelated networks."

The port number application, ticket [IANA #656816], hasn't been processed yet. I requested registration of port 7095, but I don't know if we'll receive a different number in the end.

How should we proceed? Should we wait a bit and change default address and port in one patch? Or do you want to change the default address now and the port number later?
