The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Bi-directional Remote Procedure Call On RPC-over-RDMA Transports' (draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpcrdma-bidirection-08.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mirja Kühlewind and Spencer Dawkins. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpcrdma-bidirection/ Technical Summary Minor versions of Network File System (NFS) version 4 newer than minor version 0 work best when Remote Procedure Call (RPC) transports can send RPC transactions in both directions on the same connection. This document describes how RPC transport endpoints capable of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) convey RPCs in both directions on a single connection. Working Group Summary These documents have been non-controversial within the working group and there is broad support for the work. Document Quality The document quality is high. There has been very good review and input from the working group throughout the process. There is very good implementation experience in this area and was the reason why the document was originally suggested as a working group item - an outcome of implementation of the existing RPC RDMA capabilities.
