[Gluster-devel] Registering the Gluster RPC protocols and AUTH-flavor at IANA?

Hi all,

At the moment Gluster uses quite some RPC program numbers which are not
officially registered for Gluster usage.

RFC 5531 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5531) contains "Appendix B:
Requesting RPC-Related Numbers from IANA". I think it will be good to
request program numbers for the different RPC protocols. It should even be
possible to serve two program numbers at the same time, keeping compatibility
between minor releases, but at the same time prepare for the switch.

Thoughts?
