First/Second class RPC

I think inclusion of an explanation between first and second class RPC calls is necessary, with examples of each.

IDL and Windows COM objects

It is my understanding that Windows COM objects (originally Object Linking and Embedding or at least the linking part of it) were based on RPC, at least to the extent that OLE and COM use an Interface Definition Language. I think it would help to emphasize that connection. I think it would help to at least include a description of the IDL or whatever it is that RPC uses.

DCOM is based on RPC 82.82.138.197 (talk) 18:39, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No The only difference between COM and DCOM is the communication part. COM uses type libraries that are compiled Microsoft Interface Definition Language. Sam Tomato (talk) 23:47, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There should at least be something about the Interface description language; it is fundamental to RPCs and is more important than much of the other stuff in this article. Sam Tomato (talk) 23:47, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Client-server in introduction

"This is a form of client–server interaction (caller is client, executor is server),". Given that this is in distributed computing, a peer-to-peer definition would be more appropriate, e.g. dialer-listener (which is a term that IPFS uses). Jamesray1 (talk) 02:04, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
