RPC HELP RPCs Good

What Makes a Good RPC?

The following characteristics help to make a good remote procedure call (RPC):

Silent calls (no I/O to terminal or screen, no user intervention required).
Minimal resources required (passes data in brief, controlled increments).
Discrete calls (requiring as little information as possible from the process environment).
Generic as possible (different parts of the same package as well as other packages could use the same RPC).
