Abstract

Advanced concepts are available based on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC). They help to extend the basic functions, the techniques for error handling and to decrease the response time.

This contribution is dealing with a mechanism for reduced response time, developted and tested in the environment of DECrpc using the so called Location Broker (i.e. an agent process that provides to a client dynamically and transparently the remote server interface for the application depending on server performance and load balancing.

After a short introduction to the possiblities to reduce the response time of RPCs, the basic idea and the functionality of this tool are discussed followed by the next steps to implement and improve the tool also in the DCE/RPC environment.
