+		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.
