Local Procedure Call

Overview#

Local Procedure Call (LPC, often also referred to as Lightweight Procedure Call or Local Inter-Process Communication) is an internal, undocumented inter-process communication facility provided by the Microsoft Windows NT kernel for lightweight IPC between processes on the same computer.

Local Procedure Call as of Windows Vista, has been rewritten as Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) in order to provide a high-speed scalable communication mechanism required to efficiently implement User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF), whose user-mode parts require an efficient communication channel with UMDF's components in the executive.[1]
