Usage of the term '''RMI''' may denote solely the programming interface or may signify both the API and JRMP, [[IIOP]], or another implementation, whereas the term [[RMI-IIOP]] (read: RMI over [[IIOP]]) specifically denotes the RMI interface delegating most of the functionality to the supporting [[CORBA]] implementation.
