+Coda is a distributed filesystem with its origin in AFS2. It has many
+features that are very desirable for network filesystems. Currently,
+Coda has several features not found elsewhere.
+
+ 1. disconnected operation for mobile computing
+ 2. is freely available under a liberal license
+ 3. high performance through client side persistent caching
+ 4. server replication
+ 5. security model for authentication, encryption and access control
+ 6. continued operation during partial network failures in server network
+ 7. network bandwith adaptation
+ 8. good scalability
+ 9. well defined semantics of sharing, even in the presence of network failures
