REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL

SHOWING HOW THE STACK WORKS REMOTELY

I start with a local procedure call as a reference for the more complex remote procedure call. On a remote procedure call special processes (Proxy) on the local computer pretend to be the real called process as though on the local computer. Other processes (skeleton) on the remote pretend to be the called process and create a "dummy" stack on the far computer so the "regular" procedure call mechanisms occur. Data communication processes are used to pass the necessary information between the local and the remote computer.
