(concept-rpc)= # Remote Procedure Calls The DASF Messaging Framework enables you to do so-called _Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)_, meaning that you call a function on your local computer and this function is then executed on a remote machine. In the terminology of RPC, your local computer is the so-called _client stub_, whereas the remote computer is the so-called _server stub_. Because most people never heard of RPC, we often just name the _client stub_ client, and we call the _server stub_ the _backend module_.
