What is Remote Procedure Recall ?
.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that one
program can use to request a service from a program
located in another computer in a network without having
to understand network details. (A procedure call is also
sometimes known as a function call or a subroutine call.)
RPC uses the client/server model. The requesting program
is a client and the service-providing program is the
server. Like a regular or local procedure call, an RPC is
a synchronous operation requiring the requesting program
to be suspended until the results of the remote procedure
are returned.
