Abstract
A DCE RPC mechanism normally uses a TCP/IP-based transport service to enable client machines to make remote procedure calls to server machines in a distributed computing environment. NETBIOS protocol support for the RPC mechanism is provided by using NETBIOS application names similar to TCP/IP conventions and through use of connection-oriented or connection-less NETBIOS protocol sequences. In particular, NETBIOS names are used as though they include a fixed portion representing a machine, and a dynamic portion representing an application on that machine. New functions are provided to use NETBIOS names in place of TCP/IP addresses and these NETBIOS names are then used via the sockets API, leaving RPC's use of the sockets API unchanged.
