Remote Programs and Procedures

The RPC call message has three unsigned fields:

The three fields uniquely identify the procedure to be called. The program number defines a group of related remote procedures, each of which has a different procedure number. Each program also has a version number.

The central system authority administers the program number. A remote program number is assigned by groups of 0x20000000, as shown in the following list:

Program Number
