Requirements for Parallel NFS Layout Types
RFC 8434, “Requirements for Parallel NFS Layout Types”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2018 by T. Haynes. It updates RFC 5661. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the requirements that individual Parallel NFS (pNFS) layout types need to meet in order to work within the pNFS framework as defined in RFC 5661. In so doing, this document aims to clearly distinguish between requirements for pNFS as a whole and those specifically directed to the pNFS file layout. The lack of a clear separation between the two sets of requirements has been troublesome for those specifying and evaluating new layout types. In this regard, this document updates RFC 5661.
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.
