[Federated-fs] New drafts of the federated-fs specs

[Daniel Ellard]

I uploaded two new drafts to the IETF web site on Wednesday:

draft-ellard-nfsv4-federated-fs-00
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/draft-ellard-nfsv4-federated-fs/)

draft-tewari-nfsv4-federated-fs-protocol-01
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/draft-tewari-nfsv4-federated-fs-protoco
l/)

Despite their low version numbers, these are really updates to previous
documents, renamed and reformatted to match the new plan on how to organize
the docs.

The first (draft-ellard) is a minor update to the requirements doc draft
(which expired in December).

The second (draft-tewari) is an update to Renu's protocol spec to split out
the admin sub-protocol from the NSDB (resolution) sub-protocol.  This
document focuses on the NSDB protocol.  The reason for this split is that we
feel that the NSDB protocol is considerably farther along than the admin
protocol -- these protocols are at different stages of development and it
makes sense to separate the discussions.

I'll upload a draft of the admin protocol as soon as the reformatting is
complete.

The next federated-fs conf call will be 1/17/08, 2pm EST, 1-888-765-3653
conference number 6206056.
