To be pedantic, identifiying this field as a "prot" may be just as misleading. For example "rdma" (which isn't mentioned btw ;-) ) can employ tcp - iWARP adapters do this. I think instead that the proto= field simply names the "transport" rather than "netid" or "prot". Also, I think "prot" is much too easily mistaken for "port". So I suggest changing the example to "proto=transport", and deleting the word "protocol" in the text, simply leaving "the transport used by NFS to transmit..." Tom.
