NFS Version 4.1 Update for Multi-Server Namespace
draft-ietf-nfsv4-rfc5661-msns-update-00
Abstract
This document presents necessary clarifications and corrections
concerning features related to the use of attributes in NFSv4.1
related to file system location. These revised features include
migration, which transfers responsibility for a file system from one
server to another, and include facilities to support trunking by
allowing discovery of the set of network addresses to use to access a
file system. This document updates RFC5661.
