This document describes a lightweight binding mechanism that
allows NFS clients to obtain service from WebNFS-enabled
servers with a minimum of protocol overhead.  In removing
this overhead, WebNFS clients see benefits in faster response
to requests, easy transit of packet filter firewalls and
TCP-based proxies, and better server scalability.
