RPC: Remote Procedure Call.
Used by applications and system services for communications among
applications and system services among the NT based operating systems (NT4,
W2k, XP, W2k3). Does not apply to W9x or WinME.
Here's the official explanation from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rpc/rpc/microsoft_rpc_model.asp
RPC is a powerful, robust, efficient, and secure interprocess communication
(IPC) mechanism that enables data exchange and invocation of functionality
residing in a different process. That different process can be on the same
machine, on the local area network, or across the Internet. This section
explains the RPC programming model and the model for distributed systems
that can be implemented using RPC.
How it works (the technical explanation):

Hope that helps.

What is an rpc channel?
Ace put it perfectly. However, in layman's terms here is
an example of what RPC is:
You use Outlook 2002 to look at your e-mail, right? The
contents of your Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items,
Contacts, Calendar, et al do not actually reside on the
hard drive of your LOCAL computer, though. Right? They
actually reside on the hard drives of the Exchange Server,
a REMOTE computer.
RPC allows you to use an application ( like Outlook ) to
look at something located at a remote location as if it
were local.
Same can be said for looking at your "home directory". It
is located on the File Server, right. Yet you can look at
it AS IF it were on your local computer.
HTH,
Cary
