Administration Protocol for Federated File Systems
RFC 7533, “Administration 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 the administration protocol for a federated file system (FedFS) 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.
