RPC Can Use Multiple ProtocolsArticle ID: Q100009
Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC) does not rely on a single protocol. An RPC server can be written to use all available protocols on the server, and a client can be written in the same manner. Thus, the server or client does not have to know which protocols it supports explicitly. RPC protocols supported by Windows 3.1 and 3.5 are: ncacn_ip_tcp (TCP/IP) ncacn_nb_nb (NetBIOS over NetBEUI) ncacn_nb_tcp (NetBIOS over TCP) ncacn_np (Named Pipes) ncalrpc (LPC) RPC protocols supported by Windows 3.5 only are: ncadg_ipx (Datagram - IPX) ncacn_spx (SPX) ncadg_ip_udp (Datagram - UDP) ncacn_nb_ipx (Netbios over IPX) RPC protocols supports by Windows 95 are: ncacan_ip_tcp ncacn_nb_nb ncacn_np ncacn_spx ncalrpc |
