+ RPCs are a means for executing network operations. 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. RPC is a powerful technique for constructing distributed,
+ client-server based applications. It is based on extending the notion of conventional, or local procedure
+ calling, so that the called procedure need not exist in the same address space as the calling procedure. 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. The
+ transport independence of RPC isolates the application from the physical and logical elements of the data
+ communications mechanism and allows the application to use a variety of transports.
