2.3.2 Dependencies on Other Systems/Components
The File Access Services (FAS) depend on the following external systems and components:
Object Store: For storing files and metadata.
Network protocols: FAS uses standard networking protocols for transport. These are described in greater detail in section 2.1.5.
The Remote Administration Protocol (as defined in [MS-RAP]) does not operate over SMB 2 [MS-SMB2]; it depends upon either CIFS [MS-CIFS] or SMB [MS-SMB].
The NFS Access Protocols require Sun RPC [RFC5531].
