Abstract

The SMB2/3 specifications nicely separate syntax from semantics. Developers are aware that this division can be used to help break the coding challenges into smaller, more workable chunks. This presentation will look at how layering SMB may provide additional efficiencies by separating the workload, including in clustered and multi-processor environments.

Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the division between SMB2/3 Syntax and Semantics
2. Consider the different levels of connection state maintained within the SMB stack
3. Identify a subset of SMB processing that can be accessed via a standardized API
