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.
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.
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.
MIDL 1.0 is a standard DCE/RPC IDL with enhancements made for defining COM coclasses and interfaces. MIDL 2.0 (also known as MIDLRT) [2] is a updated version of syntax that was developed in-house by Microsoft for use on the Windows platform that allowed for declaring Windows Runtime APIs. Various built in Windows Runtime APIs are written with ...
Remote procedure call (RPC) Software Communications Architecture (SCA) – components for embedded systems, cross-language, cross-transport, cross-platform; Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) XPCOM (Cross Platform Component Object Model) – developed by Mozilla for applications based on it (e.g. Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey 1.x)
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.

As mentioned, Microsoft RPC can use (A)LPC as a transport when the client and server are both on the same machine. Many services that are designed to communicate only on the local computer use (A)LPC as the only transport through RPC. The implementation of remote OLE and DCOM in many cases uses (A)LPC for local communication as well.
