What are endpoints in RPC?

Server host systems maintain a database of these ports, which are called endpoints in RPC. The database is called the endpoint map. Client programs create a binding to the server to establish a communication session. A binding contains all of the information the client applications needs to create the session.

What is the difference between a named pipe and an endpoint?

An endpoint is a network-specific address of a server process for remote procedure calls. The actual name of the endpoint depends on the protocol sequence used. For example, TCP, UDP, and HTTP use ports. Named pipes uses a named pipe name. Client/server applications can use a well-known endpoint or a dynamic endpoint.
