NMFS: Network multimedia file system protocol
Sameer H. Patel, Ghaleb Abdulla, Marc Abrams, Edward A. Fox · Computer Science Technical Reports (Virginia Tech) · 1993
We describe an on-going project to develop a Network Multimedia File System (NMFS) protocol. The protocol allows "transparent access of shared files across networks" as Sun's NFS protocol does, but attempts to meet a real-time delivery schedule. NMFS is designed to provide ubiquitous service over networks both designed and not designed to carry multimedia traffic.
