        Title           : NFS Direct Data Placement

The RDMA transport for ONC RPC provides direct data placement for NFS
data.  Direct data placement not only reduces the amount of data that
needs to be copied in an NFS call, but allows much of the data
movement over the network to be implemented in RDMA hardware. This
draft describes the use of direct data placement by means of server-
initiated RDMA operations into client-supplied buffers in a Chunk
list for implementations of NFS versions 2, 3, and 4 over an RDMA
transport.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
