SRPC
Simple Remote Procedure Call (SRPC) is a lightweight interprocess communication protocol designed to enable services to invoke functions on remote hosts with minimal overhead. Developed in the late 1990s as an alternative to heavier frameworks such as SOAP and early versions of XML‑RPC, SRPC uses a binary, prefixed format that encodes function names, argument types, and values in a compact binary stream. The protocol typically runs over TCP or UDP, with optional TLS encryption for secure deployments.
SRPC operates with a client‑server model. The client sends a request packet containing the name of the
Key features of SRPC include minimal marshaling overhead, support for basic data types (integers, floats, strings,
Compared to other RPC frameworks, SRPC offers lower latency due to its binary format but lacks built‑in
SRPC remains a niche but valuable option for developers looking for a trade‑off between protocol simplicity
