Presumably you mean "developed by Apollo"; NCA (Network Communications Architecture) was Apollo's predecessor to DCE, and DCE/RPC is a descendant of NCA RPC.

There are other RPC mechanisms in use as well, as ...

Used by AFS.

Another RPC mechanisms is XML RPC:

(no prizes for guessing what format is used to marshall arguments in XML RPC :-)).
