Thanks for the reference, James. Interesting. I had in mind a non-cryptographically random set of port, which doesn’t seem to be handled in RFC6431. That would basically be a continuous set of ports where the first port is assigned randomly or semi-randomly (could be on block boundary for example). This concept could be defined and discussed in this document, but it’s just a minor point for discussion/improvement.
