We decided awhile ago that servers would take the name of the protocol and clients would have some extension appended. For example, we have the 'iscsi' provider, and will have 'http' and 'ftp' providers. By extension, the NFS server-side providers will be called nfsv3 and nfsv4. We thought about having a single provider for both client and server, but thought that would be confusing or would lead to extremely long probe names.
