Network Instrument Protocol
›The
network instrument protocol uses the ONC remote procedure call (RPC) model. Conceptually, this model allows one application (typically called the client) to call procedures in a remote application (typically called the server) as if the remote procedures were local.
›This specification uses ONC/RPC for defining the
network instrumentmessages which are passed over the network, but does not require that these RPCs be provided as the application interface. The ONC/RPC interface may, however, be used by a device designer as a matter of convenience.
