Technical Summary
This documents specifies a protocol for ONC RPC operation over
RDMA transports (such as RDDP).
The RPC/RDMA protocol supports RDMA as a new transport for ONC
RPC. The RDMA transport binding conveys the benefits of
efficient, bulk data transport over high speed networks, while
providing for minimal change to RPC applications and with no
required revision of the application RPC protocol (such as
NFS), or the RPC protocol itself.
Working Group Summary
There is consensus in the WG to publish this documents.
Protocol Quality
In support of this protocol definition, a variety of
prototyping efforts have occurred in both Linux and
OpenSolaris operating environments. At this point, there
exist interoperable NFS client and server implementations for
both Linux and OpenSolaris.
