4.11 Caching policies

4.11 Caching policies

The NFS version 3 protocol does not define a policy for caching on the client or server. In particular, there is no support for strict cache consistency between a client and server, nor between different clients. See [Kazar] for a discussion of the issues of cache synchronization and mechanisms in several distributed file systems.
