## Limitations and Constraints<a name="section2029921310472"></a>
Currently, cross-device RPC communication is not supported.
The data transmitted for cross-process communication on a device cannot exceed 1 MB. If more data needs to be transmitted, use the anonymous shared memory.
The cross-device proxy object cannot be passed to the device hosting the stub object pointed by this proxy object.

# Subscribing to State Changes of a Remote Object<a name="EN-US_TOPIC_0000001104030756"></a>
IPC/RPC allows you to subscribe to the state changes of a remote stub object. When the remote stub object dies, a death notification will be sent to your local proxy object. You can also unsubscribe from the state changes if they are no longer needed. Such subscription and unsubscription are controlled by APIs. To be specific, you need to implement the **IRemoteObject.DeathRecipient** interface and the **onRemoteDied** method to clear resources. This callback is invoked when the process accommodating the remote stub object dies, or the device accommodating the remote stub object leaves the network. It is worth noting that these APIs should be called in the following order: The proxy object must first subscribe to death notifications of the stub object. If the stub object does not die, the proxy object can cancel the subscription when it is no longer required. If the stub object dies, subsequent operations customized by the proxy object will be automatically triggered, and the subscription does not need to be manually canceled.
Currently, IPC supports death notifications for anonymous objects, but RPC does not. That is, you can only subscribe to death notifications of services that have been registered with SAMgr.

If the stub object is in the normal state, the proxy object can cancel the subscription as required. If the process of the stub object exits or the device hosting the stub object goes offline, subsequent operations customized by the proxy object will be automatically triggered.
