Introduction:

NFS was originally designed and implemented by Sun Microsystems for use on its UNIX based workstations. Other manufacturers now support it as well, for many operating systems including MS-DOS. NFS supports heterogeneous systems, for example, MS-DOS clients making use of UNIX servers. It is not even required that all machines use the same hardware. It is common to find MS-DOS clients running Intel 386 CPUs getting service from UNIX file servers running on Motorola 68030 or Sun SPARC CPUs.

Three aspects of NFS are of interest: the architecture, the protocol, and the implementation. Let us look at these in turn.
