Next:DAFS Up:Design And Implementation of Previous:Memory-to-Memory Transports


Direct Access File Systems

Direct access file systems are providing network file service over memory-to-memory transports. Section 3.1 introduces DAFS [6], an emerging commercial standard, and describes its prototype server implementation for FreeBSD. Section 3.2 introduces Optimistic DAFS, an improved design that relies more on RDMA and less on RPC for communication but requires special kernel support, particularly in the virtual memory subsystem.
