 | | The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol, documented in RFC 1831, is designed to augment IP in a different way than TCP. |
 | | While TCP is targeted at the transfer of large data streams (such as a file download), RPC is designed for network programming, allowing a program to make a subroutine call on a remote machine. |
 | | RPC encodes its data using the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) protocol, documented in RFC 1832, which standardizes the format of integers, floating point numbers, and strings, permitting different types of computers to enhance information seamlessly. |
