Layout Types
Author: T. Haynes
Status: Standards Track
Stream: IETF

Mailbox: loghyr@gmail.com
Pages: 17
Characters: 39625
Updates: RFC 5661
I-D Tag: draft-ietf-nfsv4-layout-types-13.txt
URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8434
DOI: 10.17487/RFC8434
This document defines the requirements that individual Parallel NFS
(pNFS) layout types need to meet in order to work within the pNFS
framework as defined in RFC 5661. In so doing, this document aims to
clearly distinguish between requirements for pNFS as a whole and
those specifically directed to the pNFS file layout. The lack of a
clear separation between the two sets of requirements has been
troublesome for those specifying and evaluating new layout types. In
this regard, this document updates RFC 5661.
This document is a product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
