Marshalling is nothing but gathering or packaging the information into message for transferring across the network requird in distributed environment .
Marshalling is the process of packing/encapsulating the data when sending across the network so that the data gets transmitted without being lost. Marshalling is necessary bcoz the format in which data exists in a particular process may not be the same as existant in the network.
