RFC 5716 Requirements for Federated File Systems

Namespace Database (NSDB) Protocol for Federated File Systems

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 const...

Specification of the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) File Format

This document describes a file format for the storage of flow data based upon the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol. It proposes a set of requirements for flat-file, binary flow data file formats, then specifies the IPFIX File format to meet these requirements based upon IPFIX Messages. This IPFIX File format is designed to facilitate interoperability and reusability among a wide vari...

Internet Engineering Task Force (ietf) Administration Protocol for Federated File Systems Admin Protocol for Federated File Systems

This document describes the administration protocol for a federated file system (FedFS) 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 hoste...

Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond Web (ABFAB) Use Cases

Version Control Management for Federated Service-oriented File Sharing

The major objective of the Service Oriented Computing Environment (SORCER) is to form dynamic federations of network services that provide for concurrent engineering systems: shared data, applications, tools, and utilities on a service grid along with exertionoriented programming. To meet the requirements of these services in terms of design data sharing and managing in the form of data files, ...
