Advantages of RPC:

• Server independent
• Process-oriented and thread oriented models supported by RPC
• The development of DISTRIBUTED systems is SIMPLE because it uses STRAIGHTFORWARD SEMANTICS and easier.
• Like the common communications between the portions of an application, the development of the procedures for the remote calls is quite general.
• The procedure calls preserves the business logics which is apt for the application.
• The code re-writing / re-developing effort is minimized.
• Enables the usage of the applications used in the distributed environment, not only in the local environment.
• RPC provides interoperability between CORBA ORB implementations.
• A lightweight RPC protocol permits efficient implementations.

Disadvantages of RPC:

• Context switching increases scheduling costs
• RPC is not a standard – it is an idea that can be implemented in many ways
• RPC does not solve the most of the distribution creation problems
• RPC is only interaction based. This does not offer any flexibility in terms of hardware architecture.
• RPC implementations are not yet mature.
• It requires the TCP/IP protocol. Other transport protocols are not supported yet.
• Not yet proven over wide-area networks.
