+ Path to the Server
+ On Ode to SMB Multichannel
+ by Jose Barreto
+
+
+
+ There’s a client somewhere looking for file shares
+ And it’s finding a path to the server
+ When it gets there it knows it can read, write and close
+ With a word it can get what it came for
+
+ Ooh, ooh, and it’s finding a path to the server
+
+ DNS is involved, but it needs to resolve
+ ‘Cause you know sometimes names have two IPs.
+ In a dim server room, there is an admin who says:
+ Sometimes not all our addresses are given.
+
+ Ooh, it makes me wonder,
+ Ooh, it makes me wonder.
+
+ There’s a feeling, a twitch, when I look at the switch,
+ And my clients are crying for bandwidth.
+ In my thoughts I have seen
+ packets route out and in,
+ And the voices of those who stand waiting.
+
+ Ooh, it makes me wonder,
+ Ooh, really makes me wonder.
+
+ And it’s whispered to me if on SMB 3
+ Then the prot’col will lead us to reason.
+ And a new day will dawn for those file servers
+ And the clients will echo with laughter.
+
+ If you see a few more connections,
+ Don’t be alarmed now,
+ It’s just some multichannel action.
+ Yes, there are two paths you can go by but if one’s gone
+ There’s still time to change the queue you’re on.
+
+ And it makes me wonder.
+ Ooooooh…
+
+ You server is humming, speed is twofold,
+ In case you don’t know:
+ You are now balancing your net load.
+
+ Dear client, you’re now multipathing,
+ And just one more thing:
+ You will recover when your network fails.
+
+ Now we can read and write much more,
+ Our bandwidth higher than before,
+ There goes the server we all know.
+ Who perform betters and wants to show
+ How everything’s still just a share
+ And if you look it really hard
+ You’ll see pieces that we shard.
+ When there are multiple of all you got,
+ You’ll see a fail but you won’t stop.
+
+ And it’s finding the path to… the server…
