Abstract :
The authors propose an enhancement to the remote procedure call (RPC) called the dynamic RPC (DRPC), to facilitate dynamic client-server relationships, extensibility, and protocol transparency. A prototype DRPC has been implemented as a component of a distributed computing infrastructure, the communications manager for the DARPA initiative in concurrent engineering program. DRPC currently supports two popular commercial implementations of RPC-Sun ONC/RPC and Apollo NCS/RPC. A preliminary comparative performance analysis is presented.<>
