Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

A Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a method that allows a program on one computer to execute a procedure or function on another computer as if it were local. Think of it like making a phone call to a friend to ask them to perform a task for you. You send a request with the details, and they do the work and send the results back to you. RPC facilitates communication between different systems in a network, making it easier for applications to interact and share data without the user needing to understand the complexities of what happens behind the scenes.
