Network File System Direct Data Placement
RFC 5667, “Network File System Direct Data Placement”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2010 by T. Talpey, B. Callaghan. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8267 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the bindings of the various Network File System (NFS) versions to the Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) operations supported by the RPC/RDMA transport protocol. It describes the use of direct data placement by means of server-initiated RDMA operations into client-supplied buffers for implementations of NFS versions 2, 3, 4, and 4.1 over such an RDMA transport. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
