            the same (fast) performance
        
      
      I disagree. Different protocols introduce different levels of
      overhead. Hence my suggestion to use netbeui which has lower
      overhead, at the expense of being non-routeable (only good for a
      local LAN segment).

      
      That is, if current SAMBA supports the NETBEUI protocol, which I'm
      not sure. I haven' t used NETBEUI since the Samba 2.x days...

      
    So, you are offering advice to use a protocol which may or may not
    exist and be available now?  And of which you have no current
    experience?

    
    Wouldn't it make better sense to cite performance comparisons of the
    various common protocols?  Maybe articles such as.....
