What it does is allow a kernel running on machine A to access and utilize block device resources on machine B over a network connection. So on machine B, you have resources like floppies, CDROMs, hard disk partitions, files, etc. that you want to make available to machine A. On machine B you run the nbd-server pointing it to the resource you desire to export. On machine A you run nbd-client to connect an node (say /dev/nda) to that exported resource. Then, on machine A you can do anything you can normally do to a real block device, and the actions are actually performed to the resource on machine B (i.e., mount, dd, mke2fs, etc.).
