Description: Array of Berkeley sockets style protocol addresses used to bind RPC to a communications protocol family. Setting an instance of this array object to a zero length binary value disables the transport protocol indicated by that instance. All multi-bytes fields are in network (or big-endian) order. Bytes 1 and 2 indicate the transport protocol. Some of the transport protocol mapping information can be found in RFC 1010 Assigned Numbers. A list of interesting transport protocol number mappings include:

Protocol | Number ---------+------- UDP/IP | 17 IPX | 1000 MLC | 4660 Bytes 3 and 4 indicate the address family. The address family uses the same mapping as the BSD sockets address family. A list of interesting address family mappings include: Address Family | Number ---------------+------- Internet | 2 NetWare | 6 MLC | 22136 The format the fifth and following bytes is dependent on the address family. For the Internet address family, bytes 5 and 6 contain the port number, bytes 7 through 10 contain the IP address, and the following eight bytes are unused. For NetWare, bytes 5 through 8 are the network number, bytes 9 through 14 are the node number, and bytes 15 and 16 are the socket number. Additional information: The length of the binary value is zero if the instance of an object in the rpc-bind-protocol-address array is not in use. Returns status if attempting to access this object and there is no storage device is installed.
