This protocol sequence specifies RPC directly over IPX. There are no intermediate protocols between RPC and IPX.<18>This protocol sequence MAY<19> be supported

When these extensions are enabled over the IPX datagram service, the network address MUST be either a Netware machine name or a network and node number. For more information, see [IPX].

The endpoint MUST be a 16-bit unsigned integer socket number. The network address and endpoint are not transmitted on the network by these extensions but are used by lower-layer protocols to communicate with the server.

RPC over IPX MUST use an endpoint mapper well-known endpoint of 34280. It MUST use protocol identifier 0x14, as specified in [C706] Appendix I.
