Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol
draft-dnoveck-nfsv4-rfc5661bis-base-01
Abstract
This document describes the Network File System (NFS) version 4 minor
version 1, including features retained from the base protocol (NFS
version 4 minor version 0, which is specified in RFC 7530) and
protocol extensions made subsequently. The later minor version has
no dependencies on NFS version 4 minor version 0, and is considered a
separate protocol.
This document obsoletes RFC 5661. It substantially revises the
treatment of features relating to multi-server namespace, superseding
the description of those features appearing in RFC 5661.
The content of this document reflects that of RFC8881, presented in
the form of an I-D. This is intended to provide a helpful point of
comparision for drafts leading to an eventual rfc5661bis to enable
use of rfcdiff when reviewing such drafts.
