For more than ten years, many people (including myself) have been advocating the use of "Remote Procedure Calls" (RPC) as the primary technique for communication among the components of a distributed system. Many researchers have explored the design space for RPC, and they have written many worthy papers on what they discovered. Many commercial vendors have constructed and purveyed RPC systems. Many standards committees have added their own distinctive values to the enterprise. Where has all this effort got us ?It is time to consider the successes and failures, benefits and costs, of our advocacy of RCP.
