<abstract>
<t>
   A new URL scheme, &apos;nfs&apos; is defined.  It is used to refer to files and
   directories on NFS servers using the general URL syntax defined in
   RFC 1738, &quot;Uniform Resource Locators (URL)&quot;.
</t>
<t>
   This scheme uses the public filehandle and multi-component lookup
   [RFC2054, RFC2055] to access server data with a minimum of protocol
   overhead.
</t>
<t>
   The NFS protocol provides access to shared filesystems across
   networks.  It is designed to be machine, operating system, network
   architecture, and transport protocol independent.  The protocol
   currently exists in two versions: version 2  and version 3
   , both built on ONC RPC  at its associated eXternal
   Data Representation (XDR)  and Binding Protocol .
