Remote Pipe and Procedures for Efficient Distributed Communication
Author(s)
Gifford, D.Abstract
A new communication model for distributed systems is described that combines the advantages of remote procedure call with the efficient transfer of bulk data. Three ideas form the basis of this model. First, remote procedures are first-class values which can be freely exchanged among nodes, thus enabling a greater variety of protocols to be directly implemented in a remote procedure call framework.
