You’re thinking too high level, this is talking about replacing TCP or UDP with a new transport protocol designed specifically with RPC in mind.
Instead of opening a TCP (or UDP) socket and writing data (or data grams) to it you’d open a (for want of a better term) RPCP socket and write data that represents the procedure call and parameters to it.
I assume the protocol would have assurances of some kind of reliability (unlike UDP) and procedure call data boundaries (unlike TCP) built in at the lowest levels along with request/response sequences to allow out of order completions.
