TOPS was initially a protocol using a custom set of remote procedure calls and able to talk only between TOPS clients.
22.
An important difference between remote procedure calls and local calls is that remote calls can fail because of unpredictable network problems.
23.
The idea of treating network operations as remote procedure calls goes back at least to the 1970s in early ARPANET documents.
24.
Connected clients can make Remote procedure calls ( RPC ) on the server-side and the server can call methods on specific clients.
25.
Under V the IPC system appears to be conceptually modeled on remote procedure calls ( RPC ) from the client application's perspective.
26.
Stubs perform the conversion of the parameters, so a remote procedure call looks like a local function call for the remote computer.
27.
In other words, it supports multiple platforms and can make remote procedure calls to execute, subroutines on another computer as defined by RMI.
28.
For example, complex remote procedure calls with many parameters tend to be hard to map to filesystem schemes, and may require application redesign.
29.
File Transfer Protocol ( FTP ) and Remote Procedure Call ( RPC ) applications are two protocols that can behave in this manner.
30.
It provided general purpose network communications, internetwork routing and packet delivery, and higher level functions such as a reliable stream, and remote procedure calls.
