A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Parallel NFS Requirements and Design Considerations
Author(s) : G. Gibson, et al.
Filename : draft-gibson-pnfs-reqs-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2004-10-19
This draft specifies the requirements that should be satisfied in the
definition of a parallel NFS protocol and the considerations
recommended for its designs. It responds to the scalable bandwidth
problem described in the pNFS Problem Statement,
draft-gibson-pnfs-problem-statement-01.txt. In the interest of a
timely adoption of scalable bandwidth file service, parallel NFS is
proposed to be a NFSv4 minor extension for communicating file layout
available through existing and future storage subsystem protocols
such as other NFSv4 file servers (NFS), block-based SCSI subsystems
(SBC), and object-based SCSI (OSD) subsystems.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-gibson-pnfs-reqs-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
