In distributed computing, a remote procedure call (RPC) is when a computer program causes a procedure (subroutine) to execute in a different address space (commonly on another computer on a shared computer network), which is written as if it were a normal (local) procedure call, without the programmer explicitly writing the details for the remote interaction.
DCE/RPC, short for "Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Calls", is the remote procedure call system developed for the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). This system allows programmers to write distributed software as if it were all working on the same computer, without having to worry about the underlying network code.
Microsoft EPMAP (End Point Mapper), also known as DCE/RPC Locator service, [71] used to remotely manage services including DHCP server, DNS server and WINS. Also used by DCOM: 137: Yes: NetBIOS Name Service, used for name registration and resolution [72] [73] 138: Assigned: Yes: NetBIOS Datagram Service [11] [72] [73] 139: Yes: Assigned ...
In distributed computing, a stub is a piece of code that converts parameters passed between the client and server during a remote procedure call (RPC). The main purpose of an RPC is to allow a local computer to invoke procedures on a remote computer .
Both servant locator and servant activator can forward the calls to another server. In total, this system provides a very powerful means to balance the load, distributing requests between several machines. In the object-oriented languages, both remote object and its servant are objects from the viewpoint of the object-oriented programming.
Microsoft RPC (Microsoft Remote Procedure Call) is a modified version of DCE/RPC. Additions include partial support for UCS-2 (but not Unicode ) strings, implicit handles, and complex calculations in the variable-length string and structure paradigms already present in DCE/RPC.
Open Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC), commonly known as Sun RPC is a remote procedure call system.
Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a proprietary Microsoft technology for communication between software components on networked computers.DCOM, which originally was called "Network OLE", extends Microsoft's COM, and provides the communication substrate under Microsoft's COM+ application server infrastructure.
