Actually, if this is to become a WG draft, it will specify whatever
the WG consensus turns out to be. fwiw, my view is that Hemant is correct,
and it isn't for the IETF to specify how many ports a vendor might
choose to include in their product. (Of course, if it's going to be
an independent submission, the draft can say whatever its authors want.)
