RFC 5661: Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8881.

Current version: RFC 8881 — Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

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 3530) and protocol extensions made subsequently. Major extensions introduced in NFS version 4 minor version 1 include Sessions, Directory Delegations, and parallel NFS (pNFS). NFS version 4 minor version 1 has no dependencies on NFS version 4 minor version 0, and it is considered a separate protocol. Thus, this document neither updates nor obsoletes RFC 3530. NFS minor version 1 is deemed superior to NFS minor version 0 with no loss of functionality, and its use is preferred over version 0. Both NFS minor versions 0 and 1 can be used simultaneously on the same network, between the same client and server. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
