Remote File Access: A Data-Access Protocol for Computer Networks

This paper deals with defining and implementing high-level protocols for computer networks, a subject now being studied by private, national, and international organizations. While line-level protocols already exist in standard formats, and these organizations are defining end-to-end protocols, higher level protocols are still a matter for study. Since some services have to be provided by a computer network, such services must use standardized protocols if portability, compatibility, and internetworking are to be achieved. This paper considers a possible network service and its related protocol
