Abstract

Remote procedure call is gaining popularity assimple, transparent and useful paradigm for building distributed systems. Ideal transparency means that remote procedure calls are in distinguishable from local ones. This is usually only partially achievable. This paper discusses those implementation decisions which affect transparency and intrude on the design of distributed applications built using remote procedure call.
