            Bug ID: 252885
           Summary: Outdated values for portrange (Handbook 12.11.2.1)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: majo-bugs.freebsd.org at cerny.sk

The section 12.11.2.1 Network Limits > net.inet.ip.portrange.* of the Handbook
seems to be outdated.

For example, it mentions:
> Most network programs use the default range which is controlled by net.inet.ip.portrange.first and net.inet.ip.portrange.last, which default to 1024 and 5000, respectively.

However, the current limits on FreeBSD 12.1 are:
net.inet.ip.portrange.first: 10000
net.inet.ip.portrange.last: 65535

So I believe the default limits have been raised since the paragraph has been
written.

If that is true, (at least) the following sentence won't also be correct:
> A value of 10000, 20000 or 30000 may be reasonable.
