RPC Authentication Flavor Numbers

Registration Procedure(s)

First Come First Served

Reference

[RFC5531]

Note

For all RPC authentication flavor and authentication status numbers
to be used on the Internet, it is strongly advised that an
informational or standards-track RFC be published describing the
authentication mechanism behaviour and parameters.
New pseudo-flavor requests will be assigned from the 390000-390255 
block. All other assignments will be made sequentially starting from 
decimal 400000.
