Protocols like the Direct Access File System (DAFS) leverage user-level memory-mapped communication to enable low overhead access to network-attached storage for applications. DAFS offers significant improvement in application performance using features like direct data transfer and RDMA. Our goal is to build high performance network file servers using DAFS. The benefits of the DAFS protocol can be extended to cluster-based servers, using low overhead user-level communication within the cluster.
