portmapper listens on the well known port of 111 to provide information about other rpc services (which register can can have varied port bindings).

$ getent services  sunrpc
sunrpc                111/tcp portmapper rpcbind

Note [portmapper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmap) also operates on UDP. – danblack Sep 17 '18 at 22:30
