Abstract: The invention relates to a process for simulating, in a network, a server architecture from a client architecture in a first machine (PS) for the execution of remote procedure calls (RPC sent by at least one machine with client architecture (CL). In this this process, the first machine (PS) initially sends an RPC call to a third machine with server architecture (RE) which is used as a relay machine between the first (PS) and the second (CL) machines, and this RPC call opens a communication context for the sequence of exchanges while the first machine (PS) blocks itself on standby for a return of the RPC call. When the second machine (CL) sends an RPC call which represents a predetermined function to be executed by the first machine (PS), this call is transmitted to the relay machine (RE) which, after recognizing the function, retransmits it to the first machine (PS) through a return of the blocked RPC call.
