As Dan says, I too discourage you from doing this. But if you really
need to dig into RPC, then:

1) payload is just function arguments serialized. In general, two
functions have different set of arguments, and therefore different payloads.

2) The (de-)serializers are generated from .x files, e.g.
src/remote/remote_protocol.x

3) There's a wireshark plugin under tools/wireshark/, you may want to
check it out. But it's mainly for developers - to see the data passed
through RPC tube.
