Let me be clear about one thing - SMB3 has it because the protocol
is designed for it. Multichannel leverages SMB2 sessions to allow
retransmit on any active bound connection. NFSv4.1 (and later) have
a similar capability.
NFSv2 and NFSv3, however, do not, and I've already stated my concerns
about pushing them too far. I agree with your sentiment, but for these
protocols, please bear in mind the risks.
NFSv2 and NFSv3 were designed to work with UDP. That works a lot like
one-connection-per-message. I don't think there is any reason to think
NFSv2,3 would have any problems with multiple connections.
Sorry, but are you saying NFS over UDP works? It does not. There
are 10- and 20-year old reports of this.
NFSv2 was designed in the 1980's. NFSv3 came to be in 1992. Do
you truly want to spend your time fixing 30 year old protocols?
Ok, I'll be quiet now. :-)
Tom.
