Module $3$ Section A

Analyze the differences between Remote Procedure Call $($RPC$)$ and Remote Method Invocation $($RMI$)$ in terms of their communication patterns and use cases. How does the underlying architecture of each influence its application in distributed systems?

Compare the socket programming model with RPC in terms of abstraction and ease of use for developers. What are the trade$-$offs involved when choosing between these communication techniques?

Examine the role of marshalling and unmarshalling in RPC and RMI. How do these processes affect the performance and reliability of remote communications?

Module $3$ Section B

Evaluate the effectiveness of socket programming versus RPC for a real$-$time multiplayer online game. Which approach would better ensure low latency and high reliability, and why?

Critique the use of RMI in a large$-$scale enterprise application with diverse programming environments. What are the potential challenges, and how could they be mitigated?

Assess the security implications of using socket programming in an open network environment. How does it compare with the security provisions in RPC and RMI?
