....overall structure of the Cedar RPC facility has become standard for remote procedure call packages. There are several other examples of fully implemented RPC systems. These include Xerox Courier [12] Firefly RPC [38] Apollo RPC [14, 44] which is the basis of DCE RPC 2 [16, 44] and Sun RPC [22, 23, 44]. Sun RPC has become a de facto standard, since it is so widely used. DCE RPC, which is actually more versatile, is also gaining acceptance. These are the primary packages to which we will compare our package. The primary design goal for our package was to improve the transparency and generality ....

....the server have stubs that marshal and transmit the arguments and results. Sun RPC has a run time library that carries out all of the networking , and a port mapper that records the network end points of the procedure servers. Stubs are generated by the rpcgen program, which requires an XDR 3 [23] interface specification. In Sun RPC, the function performed by Grapevine is handled by a name server that runs on every machine [22] Each name server maintains information about the procedure servers on its own machine. DCE RPC is also very similar to Cedar RPC. Its distributed data base design ....
