Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: all command-line examples use Windows PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Get-SmbClientNetworkInterface, set-SmbClientConfiguration), and only Windows tools (Performance Monitor, Hyper-V adapters) are referenced for monitoring and configuration. There are no Linux or macOS SMB client examples, nor is there any mention of how to achieve similar monitoring or tuning on non-Windows platforms. References and links are exclusively to Windows documentation, and Windows terminology is used throughout.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Linux (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, smbstatus, /proc/fs/cifs) and macOS (mount_smbfs, system profiler) commands and examples for all configuration and monitoring steps.
- When referencing tools like Performance Monitor or PowerShell cmdlets, also mention and provide examples for open-source or cross-platform alternatives (e.g., iostat, iftop, netstat, atop, nload, or perf tools on Linux).
- Add a section or callouts for Linux and macOS SMB client tuning, including sysctl parameters, mount options, and relevant kernel modules.
- When describing SMB features (Multichannel, Signing, Encryption), clarify support and configuration steps for non-Windows clients, including any limitations or differences.
- Provide links to official Samba and Linux SMB client documentation alongside Windows references.
- Avoid assuming the reader is using Windows by default; use neutral language and structure sections to address all major platforms equally.
