The IESG has approved the following document: - 'NFS RDMA Problem Statement ' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-nfs-rdma-problem-statement-08.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Lars Eggert and Magnus Westerlund. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nfsv4-nfs-rdma-problem-statement-08.txt Technical Summary Motivation for the application of Remote Direct Memory Access to the NFS protocols is described. 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. Working Group Summary There is consensus in the WG to publish this document. Protocol Quality As the Informative References demonstrate, this work has drawn on a variety of work in academia and industry and appropriately motivates the appropriate use of RDMA technologies for protocols such as NFS.
