NFS Over RDMA

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview NAS file access protocols, like NFS, allow files to be shared among many servers running different operating systems. Yet this flexibility of NFS is tempered by its requirement for TCP/IP networks, which as yet, do not perform at the speed of SAN fibrechannel networks. Additionally, the protocol processing and data movement required by TCP/IP make heavy demands on the client and the server CPU. This paper describes a way to run file access protocols at high speed over fast storage networks without significant CPU overhead. One can enjoy the file sharing advantages of NFS with the performance of a SAN.
