The other day we started using Cisco netflow accounting software
together with IP flow export feature of recent Cisco IOS versions.

What we found was that although we put a lot of protocols in the
nfknown.protocols file of the accounting software (everywthing we
could find in the /etc/services file of Solaris and Linux), there
is still a lot of traffic under TCP-Other and UDP-Other. This
indicated that traffic is going over our network using ports that
the software doesn't know about.

This could for example be Real-audio, Cuseeme, Pointcast, Backweb
etc traffic. Unfortunately, I don't have a list of these newer
protocols together with their port numbers. Has anyone compiled
such a list? There's the Assigned numbers RFC but the last version
of it is RFC 1700 of October 1994.

Try,

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers

It doesn't give a date it was last updated - but the list is bloody
long so should do you ;-)

Cheers,
