• Request-reply protocol<br />

• UDP or TCP transport<br />

• Standardized data representation - RPC encodes its data using the<br />

eXternal Data Representation (XDR) protocol, RFC 1832<br />

based on relaying UNIX user and group IDs to the file server <strong>for</strong><br />

permission checking}<br />
