Remote Procedure Call: Difference between revisions

AAn RPC system relies on a compiler that will generate helper code from a high-level interface description (usually IDL, "or ''Interface Description Language"''). The 'client' code that wishwishes to call a service will actually call a proxy function locally, passing it the arguments for the remote code. The proxy then marshalls (or serializes) the arguments according so that they fit in a flat buffer and send that buffer to the server code (for instance involving a UDP packet or some local message queue) and waits for response.

OnThe itsserver side, the serverwill suddenly receive the marshalled packet and will pass it to a stub that will re-createrecreate the data (unmarshall) and call the real service procedure, getting backretrieving the results and marshall them back in a message to the client.
