Good afternoon
I have a project that I wrote on unity 4.5 and which used such a thing as uLink. Who does not know - a library for creating multiplayer games. For example, the ClientMessenger class has a method:

[RPC]
  void SuccessfulLogin()
  {
    GUIController.Controller.LoggedInOnGUI();
  }

This means that this method can be called from the server with the line

networkView.RPC("SuccessfulLogin", uLink.RPCMode.Owner);

After I opened the project in unity 5.1, everything seemed to work, but an error appeared

Assets/Scripts/Client/ClientMessenger.cs(50,10): warning CS0618: `UnityEngine.RPC' is obsolete: `NetworkView RPC functions are deprecated. Refer to the new Multiplayer Networking system.'
Assets/Scripts/Client/ClientMessenger.cs(56,10): warning CS0618: `UnityEngine.RPC' is obsolete: `NetworkView RPC functions are deprecated. Refer to the new Multiplayer Networking system.'

What should RPC methods look like now?

I'm afraid that you won't be able to simply replace one attribute with another, the new network library is essentially written from scratch. Judging by this page , you are out of luck with uLink, it has been abandoned, so either you can read the manual and try to update it, or look for another plugin.
