RPC Protocol Overview - freesoft.org
www.freesoft.org › CIE › TopicsRPC introduces another step in this process, to divorce services from being tied to a given port number. It does so using a special RPC service called PORTMAP or RPCBIND. These binding protocols , documented in RFC 1833 and often referred to as the portmapper , are unique among RPC services since they have an assigned port of their own (port 111).
