Network File System
As commonly
used, a distributed file system protocol suite developed by Sun Microsystems
that allows remote file access across a network. In actuality, NFS is simply
one protocol in the suite. NFS protocols include NFS, RPC, External Data
Representation (XDR), and others. These protocols are part of a larger
architecture that Sun refers to as Open Network Computing (ONC). See also
ONC.
