Proxies
The introduction to proxies provided in Terminology describes a proxy as a local artifact that makes a remote invocation as easy to use as a regular function call. In fact, processing remote invocations is just one of a proxy's many responsibilities. A proxy also encapsulates the information necessary to contact the object, including its identity and addressing details such as endpoints. Proxy methods provide access to configuration and connection information, and act as factories for creating new proxies. Finally, a proxy initiates the establishment of a new connection when necessary.
