V8 Unix introduced the STREAMS I/O mechanism, the /proc filesystem and several other features later incorporated into System V.
V8 also featured a network file system, which permitted access to other machines' entire filesystem trees. For example, the file /etc/passwd on server foovax would be accessible to client machines as /n/foovax/etc/passwd.
The Unix Programming Environment was prepared on a VAX-11/750 running a preliminary version of V8 Unix. [1]

In computer networking, STREAMS is the native framework in Unix System V for implementing character devices.
STREAMS was designed as a modular architecture for implementing full-duplex, bidirectional character I/O between kernel or user space processes and device drivers.
