RFC 5665 RPC Netids January 2010
1. Introduction and Motivation
The concepts of an RPC (defined in RFC 5531 [4]) Network Identifier
(netid) and an RPC Universal Address (uaddr) were introduced in RFC
1833 [1] for distinguishing network addresses of multiple protocols
and representing those addresses in a canonical form. RFC 1833
states that a netid "is defined by a system administrator based on
local conventions, and cannot be depended on to have the same value
on every system". (The netid is contained in the field r_netid of
the data type rpcb_entry, and the uaddr is contained in the field
r_addr of the same data type, where rpcb_entry is defined in RFC
1833.) Since the publication of RFC 1833, it has been found that
protocols like Network File System version 4 (NFSv4.0) [5] and RPC/
