Namespace Database Protocol for Federated File Systems
RFC 7532, “Namespace Database Protocol for Federated File Systems”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2015 by J. Lentini, R. Tewari, C. Lever. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a file system 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 file systems physically hosted on and exported by the constituent fileservers.
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.
