Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a useful model for providing communication across a network between programs written in a high-level language. This thesis is about the implementation of an RPC facility, written for Topspeed C on top of a local area network. Our RPC is designed to provide all the necessary mechanisms for efficient transfer of control and data across a computer network. In designing an RPC it is necessary that issues such as the semantics of a call in the presence of machine and communication failures, how to bind remote procedure calls, transport level communication protocols, and how to multitask requests for service from clients be resolved.
