Oh, it's what is also called Sun RPC? I didn't know they renamed it.

I guess it's one of the things that fly under one's radar if one isn't actively using a protocol.

On Windows a similar niche is (mostly "was") filled by Microsoft RPC, an implementation of DCE RPC, which forms the underlying protocol for DCOM.
