Object Request Brokers (ORB) allow unique objects that have state and identity to be distributed across a network. The greatest advantage compared to RPC is the possibility to invoke methods on remote object instances (not only application procedures). In contrast to TP Monitors, ORBs are simply communications backbones that are used to access unique remote objects.
