+==== Witness - General ====
+
+New DCE/RPC Service to “witness” availability of services, in particular SMB3 connections
+* Prompt and explicit notifications about failures
+* Allows Continuous Availability of SMB shares in clustered environments (together with persistent handles)
+* Controlled way of dealing with reconnects instead of detecting failures due to timeouts
+* Available since SMB3 (Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012)
+* More advanced failover mechanism than Tickle-ACK that is used within CTDB
+

+==== Witness - Samba ====
+
+Currently under development in Samba
+* PoC implementation available
+* Currently on hold until new DCE/RPC async infrastructure is available
+* {\footnotesize @https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba3/ \\ %
+   SMB2\#Witness\_Notification\_Protocol@}
+* WIP branch: \\ %
+  {\footnotesize @https://git.samba.org/?p=gd/samba/.git;a=shortlog; \\ %
+   h=refs/heads/master-witness@}
+
+Samba Witness service will cause Windows clients to reconnect:
+* when client admin tool is used
+* when CTDB (or any other cluster resource control manager) moves resources or IP addresses
