In current distributed systems, the performance of remote procedure calls (RPCs) is determined primarily by the performance of the underlying network transport. While the overheads of the RPC system itself are secondary, two ongoing developments are likely to change this and will cause the current RPC systems to become the bottleneck in communication: user-level network interfaces and safe languages. User-level network interfaces such as VIA [2], U-
