Structure and Interpretation of the SMB Protocol
Authors: Engineer, Sunu, Engineer, Anu
- Is the most up-to-date book on server message block (SMB) 3 protocol in all forms from version 2 to version 3.1.1
- Provides both theory and practical applications, with detailed models including next-generation systems
- Covers modern, high-performance storage systems, such as non-volatile memory express/NVMe-over-fabrics (NVMe/NVMf) and their relation to distributed file system protocols
- Illustrates applications of qualitative and quantitative system modeling approaches to high-performance and scale-out design
- Includes the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in the measuring, monitoring, and optimizing high- performance distributed file systems
- Discusses the interoperability of other network attached storage (NAS) protocols like network file system (NFS) and SMB-based access and adaption to object storage systems and distributed systems like Ceph, Gluster, etc

This book discusses the theory and applications of the server message block (SMB) 3 protocol used for distributed remote file access. It covers the protocol from its genesis to the present structure and the future enhancements, and includes detailed mathematical models of system performance and real-world applications of SMB-based storage systems. The book examines in detail the protocol and the design principles that have driven its evolution to the present 3.1.1 version, and its applications in the environments such Azure and beyond. Further, the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for understanding the behavior of storage systems with a view to adapting them to modern storage systems such as NVMe(non-volatile memory express) based and software-defined scale out storage systems are explored in detail.
