The IESG has received a request from the Network File System Version 4 WG (nfsv4) to consider the following document: - 'Using DNS SRV to Specify a Global File Name Space with NFS version 4' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-dns-srv-namespace-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-09-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The NFS version 4 protocol provides a natural way for a collection of NFS file servers to collaborate in providing an organization-wide file name space. The DNS SRV RR allows a simple and appropriate way for an organization to publish the root of its name space, even to clients that might not be intimately associated with such an organization. The DNS SRV RR can be used to join these organization- wide file name spaces together to allow construction of a global, uniform NFS version 4 file name space. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-dns-srv-namespace/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-dns-srv-namespace/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
