The IESG has received a request from the Network File System Version 4 WG (nfsv4) to consider the following document: - 'NSDB Protocol for Federated Filesystems' <draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-protocol-13.txt> as 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 2012-10-22. 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 This document describes a filesystem federation protocol that enables file access and namespace traversal across collections of independently administered fileservers. The protocol specifies a set of interfaces by which fileservers with different administrators can form a fileserver federation that provides a namespace composed of the filesystems physically hosted on and exported by the constituent fileservers. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-protocol/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-protocol/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1362/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1634/
