RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. It's a programming model that lets programmers write a procedure in one program and call it from another. RPC is used in distributed computing to cause a procedure to execute in a different address space. It's a high-level communications paradigm for operating systems that's built on top of the eXternal Data Representation (XDR) protocol.
