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 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 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. A side effect of the implementation is initializing the mass storage device sets this object back to the factory default value. Returns status if attempting to access this object and there is no storage device is installed.
