Abstract
A request is received from a first client, at a file-server, to use a handle available at the file-server, the handle corresponding to a resource available at a second client. A response message is selected, the selected response being specified in a file-system protocol. The request is multiplexed with the selected response. An identifier is added to the multiplexed response, the identifier associating a set of requests and responses between the first client and the second client concerning the resource. The multiplexed response is sent to the second client. A second response is received from the second client. Responsive to the request from the first client, and further responsive to the second response from the second client, a third response is sent to the first client, the third response enabling the client to client resource sharing in the client-server file-system.
