Title : DYNAMIC RPC NUMBER ASSIGNMENT AND DISTRIBUTION
Author(s) : M. Rosenau
Filename : draft-rosenau-rpc-dynnames-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 2008-1-28
The RPC port mapper described in [1] and [2] allows a service to
bind to any free TCP or UDP port. A client that wants to establish a
connection to a server will ask the RPC portmapper for the TCP or
UDP port of the service and establish the connection.
The problem is that clients now need to know the RPC application
number of the service they want to connect to. These numbers are
assigned by the IANA for registered applications. For "experimental"
applications there is a range of application numbers that is
managed by the local network's administrator.
Especially when using such "experimental" applications in wide
area networks there is the problem that the client needs to know
the server application's RPC application number.
The protocol described in this document allows a server host the
dynamical assigning of RPC numbers. It allows clients to ask the
server for for RPC number by the application name.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
