- TITLE :INF: RPC Can Use Multiple Protocols
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10

- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

-
- 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.
-
- Currently supported RPC protocols are:
-
- ncacn_dnet_nsp (DECNet)
- ncacn_ip_tcp (TCP/IP)
- ncacn_nb_nb (NetBIOS over NetBEUI)
- ncacn_nb_tcp (NetBIOS over TCP)
- ncacn_np (Named Pipes)
- ncalrpc (LPC)
-
- Note: All protocols are connection-oriented. Mailslots (or other
- connectionless methods) are not supported.
-
- Additional reference words: 3.10
