Resending. ----- Forwarded message from rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org ----- To: ietf-announce@ietf.org, rfc-dist@rfc-editor.org Subject: RFC 5664 on Object-Based Parallel NFS (pNFS) Operations From: rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org Cc: rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org, nfsv4@ietf.org Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:07:50 -0800 (PST) A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5664 Title: Object-Based Parallel NFS (pNFS) Operations Author: B. Halevy, B. Welch, J. Zelenka Status: Standards Track Date: January 2010 Mailbox: bhalevy@panasas.com, welch@panasas.com, jimz@panasas.com Pages: 35 Characters: 78200 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-nfsv4-pnfs-obj-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5664.txt Parallel NFS (pNFS) extends Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) to allow clients to directly access file data on the storage used by the NFSv4 server. This ability to bypass the server for data access can increase both performance and parallelism, but requires additional client functionality for data access, some of which is dependent on the class of storage used, a.k.a. the Layout Type. The main pNFS operations and data types in NFSv4 Minor version 1 specify a layout- type-independent layer; layout-type-specific information is conveyed using opaque data structures whose internal structure is further defined by the particular layout type specification. This document specifies the NFSv4.1 Object-Based pNFS Layout Type as a companion to the main NFSv4 Minor version 1 specification. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
