RFC 7532: Namespace Database (NSDB) Protocol for Federated File Systems

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

This document describes a file system federation protocol that enables file access and namespace traversal across collections of independently administered fileservers. The protocol specifies a set of interfaces by which fileservers with different administrators can form a fileserver federation that provides a namespace composed of the file systems physically hosted on and exported by the constituent fileservers.
