+>Sun's <acronym
+>NFS</acronym
+> protocol provides transparent remote access to shared file systems across networks. The <acronym
+>NFS</acronym
+> protocol is designed to be machine, operating system, network architecture, and transport protocol independent. This independence is achieved through the use of Remote Procedure Call (<acronym
+>RPC</acronym
+>) primitives built on top of an eXternal Data Representation (<acronym
+>XDR</acronym
+>). </para>

+>The supporting MOUNT protocol performs the operating system-specific functions that allow clients to attach remote folder trees to a point within the local file system. The mount process also allows the server to grant remote access privileges to a restricted set of clients via export control.</para>

+>The Lock Manager provides support for file locking when used in the <acronym
+>NFS</acronym
+> environment. The Network Lock Manager (<acronym
+>NLM</acronym
+>) protocol isolates the inherently stateful aspects of file locking into a separate protocol.</para>
