This has been a hot topic with TSVWG, so if guidance can be given -

Hi, Tom,
The general issue of the difference in the "system" (privileged) and
"user" (non-privileged) ports has been a topic on TSVWG, but not
recently and not in this specific context AFAICT. There is a move
afoot for many years to deprecate the difference between the ranges,
but it doesn't appear to be going anywhere quickly.
If you can provide a pointer otherwise, let me know.
There have been very few recent assignments to the system range,
notably netconf over ssh this past year.
IMO, this does belong in the system range, but it's your decision.
Joe
Yes from looking at the registry text on the two ranges this looks like
it needs to be from the "well known port range" = 0..1023 where BGP
itself is. I suggest that you put in a request for an allocation in that
range and leave it to the transport area reviewers to tell us that we
are wrong (and why).
Stewart
