	Remote Procedure Call
		RPC was developed by Sun Microsystems and is a collection of tools and library functions.
		RPC relies on standard UDP and TCP sockets to transport the XDR formatted data to the remote host.
		However, this case is even a little worse because when the portmapper dies, all RPC port information is lost; this usually means you have to restart all RPC servers manually or reboot the entire machine.

	Define Remote Procedure Call - a Whatis.com definition - see also: RPC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer in a network without having to understand network details.
		Like a regular or local procedure call, an RPC is a synchronous operation requiring the requesting program to be suspended until the results of the remote procedure are returned.
		When program statements that use RPC are compiled into an executable program, a stub is included in the compiled code that acts as the representative of the remote procedure code.

		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 is a request-reply protocol, and can exhibit the "ping-pong" behavior typical of such protocols.
		RPC provides support for authenticating the calling program on one machine to the target subroutine on the other.

	RPC Protocol Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol, documented in RFC 1831, is designed to augment IP in a different way than TCP.
		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.
		These binding protocols, documented in RFC 1833 and often referred to as the portmapper, are unique among RPC services since they have an assigned port of their own (port 111).

		When the code in question is written using object-oriented principles, RPC is sometimes referred to as remote invocation.
