Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell cmdlets like Get-SmbClientNetworkInterface, set-SmbClientConfiguration), and references to monitoring and performance tools (such as Windows Performance Monitor) are exclusively Windows-centric. There are no Linux or macOS SMB client examples, nor are Linux tools or configuration patterns mentioned. Even general SMB features are discussed in the context of Windows versions and tools, with no parity for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Linux (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, or relevant kernel/module settings) and macOS examples for SMB configuration, performance tuning, and monitoring.
- Provide Linux command-line examples for checking SMB Multichannel, RSS, and encryption support (e.g., using smbstatus, /proc/fs/cifs, or smbtorture).
- Mention and link to Linux/macOS documentation for SMB features, not just Windows Server/PowerShell articles.
- Describe how to monitor SMB performance on Linux (e.g., using iostat, atop, perf, or network interface statistics) alongside Windows Performance Monitor.
- Clarify which recommendations are OS-agnostic and which are specific to Windows, and provide guidance for non-Windows environments where possible.
