It started out as an NFS protocol rev (NFS version 3) but its protocol is a radical departure from the NFS's remote procedure call model. In order to avoid confusion with NFS we're calling it NeFS for now - Network Extensible File System (the similarity of the name to a window system protocol is entirely intentional). A draft spec for this new protocol is available via anonymous FTP from titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30) as /public/nefs.doc.ps The file is ~250K of PostScript. It prints 52 pages. The spec is not available in any other format. Comments, suggestions, flames etc are welcomed. Direct them to "nfs3@sun.COM".
