As mentioned, Microsoft RPC can use (A)LPC as a transport when the client and server are both on the same machine. Many services that are designed to communicate only on the local computer use (A)LPC as the only transport through RPC. The implementation of remote [[object linking and embedding|OLE]] and [[Distributed Component Object Model|DCOM]] in many cases uses (A)LPC for local communication as well.
