[LINK] OT(?) UDP above port 32767

[Kim Holburn]

I actually like the wiki page a lot.  The iana page has just the  
official and correct list of assigned port numbers and that's all.   
Often the official ports are rarely used.  They also often have both  
tcp and udp ports when only one is really used.

The wiki page has a nice overview.  It talks about the three ranges  
(privileged or well-known ports, registered ports and dynamic/private  
ports).  It also talks about unofficial ports and common use ports.   
None of this is in the official iana page.  The wiki list also shows  
unofficial and common port usage and conflicting port usage.

The iana page is useful as an official reference but the wiki page  
has much more useful information.
