| | Remote Procedure Call |
 | | RPC was developed by Sun Microsystems and is a collection of tools and library functions. | | | Therefore, RPC programs have version numbers assigned to them, usually starting with 1, and with each new version of the RPC interface, this counter will be bumped up. | | | A client that wishes to contact a service with a given program number first queries the portmapper on the server's host, which returns the TCP and UDP port numbers the service can be reached at. |

| | Define Remote Procedure Call - a Whatis.com definition - see also: RPC |
| | 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. | | | When the program is run and the procedure call is issued, the stub receives the request and forwards it to a client runtime program in the local computer. | | | RPC makes it easier to develop an application that includes multiple programs distributed in a network. |
