5906

rpas-c2 (ICAO) / VNC display :6 in practice

Registered for remotely piloted aircraft command and control; in practice, VNC display :6.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA assigns 5906 to rpas-c2, "Remotely Piloted Vehicle C&C", registered by ICAO for the command-and-control link of remotely piloted aircraft systems. That is aviation infrastructure on private networks, not something a scanner meets. On an ordinary server, 5906 is the RFB port for display :6, typically the sixth VM console on a busy KVM or Proxmox host.

Do not expose

Whichever it is, it is a control plane — a guest's console or an aircraft C2 link. Neither belongs on a public interface.
