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>
<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>
