networking A server that converts TCP/IP protocol
port numbers into RPC program numbers. It must be running
in order to make RPC calls.
When an RPC server starts, it tells portmap the port number it

Before a client can call a given RPC program number, it must
contacts portmap on the server machine to determine the port
number to which RPC packets should be sent.
