RPC (remote procedure call) allos a client program to call functions that execute on a remote server.

Each remote server program is assigned a program number. RPC uses the transport layer (TCP UDP) to communicate with the server. The server is called rpcbind. RPC remains useful since it is used by NFS (network file system) and NIS (network information system). There are others like FAM (file access monitor) which is used by GNOME.
