Remote Procedure Calls

Remote procedure calls (RPC) is a way to call functions over the network.
So lets imagine that you (ClientA) had a method named "Explode" and I (ClientB) wanted to call that "Explode" method on your machine so that we both see the fireworks at the same time.
Your main question might be:

"Well how can I call that function so that we both can see the fireworks explode at the same time?"

The answer of course is by doing a Remote Procedure call.
An RPC can be called on a specific client, all clients, buffered clients, etc.
RPCs use a reliable protocol - They always come in the right order and reception of RPCs is confirmed.
