# Abstract

This document lists static shard flag index assignments (see [51/WAKU2-RELAY-SHARDING](/spec/51/).

# Background

Similar to the [IANA port allocation](https://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml),
this document lists static shard index assignments (see [51/WAKU2-RELAY-SHARDING](/spec/51/).

The index ranges are as follows:
index `0` represents the global shards,
indices `1` to `15` are reserved,
indices `16` to `1023` are reservable for apps,
indices `1024` to `49151` are for open use by apps,
indices `49152` to `65535` are reserved.

# Assingment Process

> *Note*: Future versions of this document will specify the assignment process.
