Title: Parallel NFS Requirements and Design Considerations
State: Active
Authors: Garth Gibson
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-10-19
This draft specifies the requirements that should be satisfied in the
definition of a parallel NFS protocol and the considerations recommended
for its designs. It responds to the scalable bandwidth problem described in
the pNFS Problem Statement, draft-gibson-pnfs-problem-statement-01.txt. In
the interest of a timely adoption of scalable bandwidth file service,
parallel NFS is proposed to be a NFSv4 minor extension for communicating
file layout available through existing and future storage subsystem
protocols such as other NFSv4 file servers (NFS), block-based SCSI
subsystems (SBC), and object-based SCSI (OSD) subsystems.
