This draft is a work item of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group of the IETF.
Title : NFS RDMA Problem Statement
Author(s) : T. Talpey, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-nfsv4-nfs-rdma-problem-statement-08.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2008-02-21
This draft addresses enabling the use of Remote Direct Memory
Access (RDMA) by the Network File System (NFS) protocols. NFS
implementations historically incur significant overhead due to data
copies on end-host systems, as well as other processing overhead.
The potential benefits of RDMA to these implementations are
explored, and the reasons why RDMA is especially well-suited to NFS
and network file protocols in general are evaluated.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nfsv4-nfs-rdma-problem-statement-08.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.
