Delphi: Microsoft: DCOM: What is the Distributed Object Model?

---

The Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a protocol that
enables software components to communicate directly over a network in a
reliable, secure, and efficient manner.

Previously called "Network OLE," DCOM is designed for use across
multiple network transports, including Internet protocols such as HTTP.

DCOM is based on the Open Software Foundation's DCE-RPC spec and will
work with both Java applets and ActiveX components through its use of
the Component Object Model (COM).
