When there was a need to run it over TCP so that it would be compatible with Digital Equipment Corporation’s suite of network protocols, it was redesigned, re-submitted and officially became known as DCE/RPC. Commissioned as a conceptual project by the Open Software Foundation, the goal was that programmers would be able to write software that would run across multiple computers without the need to worry about all the messy underlying network code to make it work. This stood for Distributed Computing Environment/Remote Procedure Calls and conceptually was a good idea. Once long ago, there was a fancy buzzword with a complex history commonly referred to as DCE/RPC.
