Features
Security
Network optimisations
Interoperability

Here is a short description to explain how to have an IPv6 ready client for NFSv2,v3 and v4 If you want further information about the IPv6 support design, please feel free to have a look here
TI-RPC library
The ti-rpc library is designed to replace sunrpc library. It is necessary to do Remote Procedures Calls regardless the transport used.
Download the tirpc tarball: libtirpc-0.1.7.tar.bz2
