The remote procedure call mechanism is a competent archetype for a UDP

Actually, there's a growing body of opinion in the software world that
remote procedure call is generally a poor approach for building robust
operational software. The latency and failure modes involved in the
"remote" part, which aren't part of normal procedure calls, cannot really
be hidden, and when trouble hits, you have too little control and too
little insight. Explicitly defining a command/response protocol seems
like more work in the short run but usually works better in the long run.
RPC-based projects typically end up switching eventually.
