+1. Introduction
+
+ This document specifies the binding protocols used in conjunction
+ with ONC RPC Version 2. As a prerequisite, the reader is expected to
+ be familiar with [1] and [2] which describe the ONC RPC Version 2 and
+ XDR (eXternal Data Representation) protocols.
+
+ An RPC service is identified by its RPC program number, version
+ number, and the transport address where it may be reached. The
+ transport address, in turn, consists of a network address and a
+ transport selector. In the case of a service available over TCP/IP
+ or UDP/IP, the network address will be an IP address, and the
+ transport selector will be a TCP or UDP port number.
+
+
+

+
+RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995
+
+
+ A client program needs to know the RPC program number, version
+ number, and the transport address corresponding to a service in order
+ to utilize the service. Of these, the RPC program number and version
+ number are usually built into the client program, as part of the
+ service definition. The network address component of the transport
+ address is usually available in a name service, or is given as a
+ parameter to the client program. The transport selector (ie., the
+ TCP or UDP port) is usually determined dynamically, and varies with
+ each invocation of the service. Server programs allocate a transport
+ address, and register it with a well-known lookup service (well-known
+ because it uses a fixed transport selector, and resides at the same
+ network address as the server). Client programs consult the lookup
+ service in order to obtain the server's transport address.
+
+ Such a lookup service is very desirable because the range of well-
+ known transport selectors is very small for some transports and the
+ number of services is potentially very large. By running only the
+ lookup service on a well-known transport selector, the transport
+ addresses of other remote programs can be ascertained by querying the
+ lookup service.
+
+ This document describes three versions of a lookup service, all of
+ which use the same RPC program number (100000). They all use port
+ 111 over TCP and UDP transports. Versions 3 and 4 are described in
+ Section 2 ("RPCBIND Program Protocol"). Version 2 is described in
+ Section 3 ("Port Mapper Program Protocol").
+
+ The distinguishing characteristic of RPCBIND (versions 3 and 4) is
+ that this protocol uses a transport-independent format for the
+ transport address, known as the universal address format. An address
+ in universal address format is an ASCII string representation of the
+ transport dependent address. String representation of addresses
+ corresponding to a transport are defined by the addressing authority
+ for the transport. The RPCBIND protocol can be used for binding ONC
+ RPC clients and servers over any transport.
+
+ The Port Mapper (version 2), on the other hand, is an older protocol
+ that is specific to TCP and UDP. It handles TCP and UDP ports
+ directly.
+
+2. RPCBIND Program Protocol
+
+ The RPCBIND program maps RPC program and version numbers to universal
+ addresses, thus making dynamic binding of remote programs possible.
+
+ The RPCBIND program is bound to a well-known address of each
+ supported transport, and other programs register their dynamically
+ allocated transport address with it. The RPCBIND program then makes
+
+
+
+Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995
+
+
+ those addresses publicly available.
+
+ The RPCBIND program also aids in broadcast RPC. A given RPC program
+ will usually have different transport address bindings on different
+ machines, so there is no way to directly broadcast to all of these
+ programs. The RPCBIND program, however, does have a well-known
+ address. So, to broadcast to a given program, the client actually
+ sends its message to the RPCBIND program located at the broadcast
+ address. Each instance of the RPCBIND program that picks up the
+ broadcast then calls the local service specified by the client. When
+ the RPCBIND program gets the reply from the local service, it sends
+ the reply back to the client.

+
+
+2.2 RPCBIND Operation
+
+ RPCBIND is contacted by way of an assigned address specific to the
+ transport being used. For TCP/IP and UDP/IP, for example, it is port
+ number 111. Each transport has such an assigned, well-known address.
+ The following is a description of each of the procedures supported by
+ RPCBIND.
+
+2.2.1 RPCBIND Version 3
+
+ RPCBPROC_SET:
+
+ When a program first becomes available on a machine, it registers
+ itself with RPCBIND running on the same machine. The program passes
+ its program number "r_prog", version number "r_vers", network
+ identifier "r_netid", universal address "r_addr", and the owner of
+ the service "r_owner". The procedure returns a boolean response
+ whose value is TRUE if the procedure successfully established the
+ mapping and FALSE otherwise. The procedure refuses to establish a
+ mapping if one already exists for the ordered set ("r_prog",
+ "r_vers", "r_netid"). Note that neither "r_netid" nor "r_addr" can
+ be NULL, and that "r_netid" should be a valid network identifier on
+ the machine making the call.
+
+ RPCBPROC_UNSET:
+
+ When a program becomes unavailable, it should unregister itself with
+ the RPCBIND program on the same machine. The parameters and results
+ have meanings identical to those of RPCBPROC_SET. The mapping of the
+ ("r_prog", "r_vers", "r_netid") tuple with "r_addr" is deleted. If
+ "r_netid" is NULL, all mappings specified by the ordered set
+ ("r_prog", "r_vers", *) and the corresponding universal addresses are
+ deleted. Only the owner of the service or the super-user is allowed
+ to unset a service.
+
+ RPCBPROC_GETADDR:
+
+ Given a program number "r_prog", version number "r_vers", and network
+ identifier "r_netid", this procedure returns the universal address
+ on which the program is awaiting call requests. The "r_netid" field
+ of the argument is ignored and the "r_netid" is inferred from the
+ network identifier of the transport on which the request came in.
+
+ RPCBPROC_DUMP:
+
+ This procedure lists all entries in RPCBIND's database. The
+ procedure takes no parameters and returns a list of program, version,
+ network identifier, and universal addresses.
+
+
+
+Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995
+
+
+ RPCBPROC_CALLIT:
+
+ This procedure allows a caller to call another remote procedure on
+ the same machine without knowing the remote procedure's universal
+ address. It is intended for supporting broadcasts to arbitrary
+ remote programs via RPCBIND's universal address. The parameters
+ "prog", "vers", "proc", and args are the program number, version
+ number, procedure number, and parameters of the remote procedure.
+
+ Note - This procedure only sends a response if the procedure was
+ successfully executed and is silent (no response) otherwise.
+
+ The procedure returns the remote program's universal address, and the
+ results of the remote procedure.
+
+ RPCBPROC_GETTIME:
+
+ This procedure returns the local time on its own machine in seconds
+ since the midnight of the First day of January, 1970.
+
+ RPCBPROC_UADDR2TADDR:
+
+ This procedure converts universal addresses to transport specific
+ addresses.
+
+ RPCBPROC_TADDR2UADDR:
+
+ This procedure converts transport specific addresses to universal
+ addresses.
+
+2.2.2 RPCBIND, Version 4
+
+ Version 4 of the RPCBIND protocol includes all of the above
+ procedures, and adds several additional ones.
+
+ RPCBPROC_BCAST:
+
+ This procedure is identical to the version 3 RPCBPROC_CALLIT
+ procedure. The new name indicates that the procedure should be used
+ for broadcast RPCs only. RPCBPROC_INDIRECT, defined below, should be
+ used for indirect RPC calls.
+
+ RPCBPROC_GETVERSADDR:
+
+ This procedure is similar to RPCBPROC_GETADDR. The difference is the
+ "r_vers" field of the rpcb structure can be used to specify the
+ version of interest. If that version is not registered, no address
+ is returned.
+
+
+
+Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995
+
+
+ RPCBPROC_INDIRECT:
+
+ Similar to RPCBPROC_CALLIT. Instead of being silent about errors
+ (such as the program not being registered on the system), this
+ procedure returns an indication of the error. This procedure should
+ not be used for broadcast RPC. It is intended to be used with
+ indirect RPC calls only.
+
+ RPCBPROC_GETADDRLIST:
+
+ This procedure returns a list of addresses for the given rpcb entry.
+ The client may be able use the results to determine alternate
+ transports that it can use to communicate with the server.
+
+ RPCBPROC_GETSTAT:
+
+ This procedure returns statistics on the activity of the RPCBIND
+ server. The information lists the number and kind of requests the
+ server has received.
+
+ Note - All procedures except RPCBPROC_SET and RPCBPROC_UNSET can be
+ called by clients running on a machine other than a machine on which
+ RPCBIND is running. RPCBIND only accepts RPCBPROC_SET and
+ RPCBPROC_UNSET requests by clients running on the same machine as the
+ RPCBIND program.
+
+3. Port Mapper Program Protocol
+
+ The port mapper program maps RPC program and version numbers to
+ transport- specific port numbers. This program makes dynamic binding
+ of remote programs possible. The port mapper protocol differs from
+ the newer RPCBIND protocols in that it is transport specific in its
+ address handling.
+
+3.1 Port Mapper Protocol Specification (in RPC Language)
+
+ const PMAP_PORT = 111; /* portmapper port number */
+
+ A mapping of (program, version, protocol) to port number:
+
+ struct mapping {
+ unsigned int prog;
+ unsigned int vers;
+ unsigned int prot;
+ unsigned int port;
+ };
+
+
+
+
+
+Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995
+
+
+ Supported values for the "prot" field:
+
+ const IPPROTO_TCP = 6; /* protocol number for TCP/IP */
+ const IPPROTO_UDP = 17; /* protocol number for UDP/IP */
+
+ A list of mappings:
+
+ struct *pmaplist {
+ mapping map;
+ pmaplist next;
+ };
+
+ Arguments to callit:
+
+ struct call_args {
+ unsigned int prog;
+ unsigned int vers;
+ unsigned int proc;
+ opaque args<>;
+ };
+
+ Results of callit:
+
+ struct call_result {
+ unsigned int port;
+ opaque res<>;
+ };
+
+ Port mapper procedures:
+
+ program PMAP_PROG {
+ version PMAP_VERS {
+ void
+ PMAPPROC_NULL(void) = 0;
+
+ bool
+ PMAPPROC_SET(mapping) = 1;
+
+ bool
+ PMAPPROC_UNSET(mapping) = 2;
+
+ unsigned int
+ PMAPPROC_GETPORT(mapping) = 3;
+
+ pmaplist
+ PMAPPROC_DUMP(void) = 4;
+
+ call_result

+ PMAPPROC_CALLIT(call_args) = 5;
+ } = 2;
+ } = 100000;
+
+3.2 Port Mapper Operation
+
+ The portmapper program currently supports two protocols (UDP and
+ TCP). The portmapper is contacted by talking to it on assigned port
+ number 111 (SUNRPC) on either of these protocols.
+
+ The following is a description of each of the portmapper procedures:
+
+ PMAPPROC_NULL:
+
+ This procedure does no work. By convention, procedure zero of any
+ protocol takes no parameters and returns no results.
+
+ PMAPPROC_SET:
+
+ When a program first becomes available on a machine, it registers
+ itself with the port mapper program on the same machine. The program
+ passes its program number "prog", version number "vers", transport
+ protocol number "prot", and the port "port" on which it awaits
+ service request. The procedure returns a boolean reply whose value
+ is "TRUE" if the procedure successfully established the mapping and
+ "FALSE" otherwise. The procedure refuses to establish a mapping if
+ one already exists for the tuple "(prog, vers, prot)".
+
+ PMAPPROC_UNSET:
+
+ When a program becomes unavailable, it should unregister itself with
+ the port mapper program on the same machine. The parameters and
+ results have meanings identical to those of "PMAPPROC_SET". The
+ protocol and port number fields of the argument are ignored.
+
+ PMAPPROC_GETPORT:
+
+ Given a program number "prog", version number "vers", and transport
+ protocol number "prot", this procedure returns the port number on
+ which the program is awaiting call requests. A port value of zeros
+ means the program has not been registered. The "port" field of the
+ argument is ignored.
+
+ PMAPPROC_DUMP:
+
+ This procedure enumerates all entries in the port mapper's database.
+ The procedure takes no parameters and returns a list of program,
+ version, protocol, and port values.
+
+
+
+Srinivasan Standards Track [Page 13]
+
+RFC 1833 Binding Protocols for ONC RPC Version 2 August 1995
+
+
+ PMAPPROC_CALLIT:
+
+ This procedure allows a client to call another remote procedure on
+ the same machine without knowing the remote procedure's port number.
+ It is intended for supporting broadcasts to arbitrary remote programs
+ via the well-known port mapper's port. The parameters "prog",
+ "vers", "proc", and the bytes of "args" are the program number,
+ version number, procedure number, and parameters of the remote
+ procedure. Note:
+
+ (1) This procedure only sends a reply if the procedure was
+ successfully executed and is silent (no reply) otherwise.
+
+ (2) The port mapper communicates with the remote program using UDP
+ only.
+
+ The procedure returns the remote program's port number, and the reply
+ is the reply of the remote procedure.
