The RPC protocol is independent of transport protocols. RPC + does not try to implement any kind of reliability and the application that uses RPCs must be aware of the type + of transport protocol underneath RPC. An RPC is like a programatic a jump subroutine over a network. RPCs used + in the UNIX environment are specified in RFC 1050.

The + two processes may be on the same system, or they may be on different systems with a network connecting them. + By using RPC, programmers of distributed applications avoid the details of the interface with the network.
