  • Methods and apparatus for performing a remote procedure call
    Patent number: 7779086
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing automatic service selection in a client are disclosed, where the client supports a protocol for calling a subroutine on a remote server. A request is sent to a name server for connection information for a specified service. A first handle for the specified service is then obtained using connection information received from the name server, the first handle including the connection information for the specified service, thereby enabling the specified service to be called via the first handle. A notice indicating that the first handle is not functional is then received. A subsequent request is automatically sent to the name server for connection information for the specified service when the notice is received. A second handle including updated connection information for the specified service is then obtained, thereby enabling the specified service to be called via the second handle.
