4. What are the valid ranges of protocol numbers? 0-65535 5. What protocol number(s) is/are specified for experimentation and testing? 253 and 254
6. What organization has been given the responsibility for assigning port numbers, sometimes referred to as “Well Known Ports or Registered Ports”? IANA
