[Samba] Perf enhancements in Samba4.1 related to SMB2.1 / SMB3.0 protocol

[Volker Lendecke]

Hello!

The closest to a Road Map that we have right now is

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba/Status

From there we have a link to

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba3/SMB2

where we lay out initial plans for the requested features.

Over SambaXP we discussed the Road Map topic very
intensively, so it might be possible that the above links
will be filled in with more detailed information soon.

Feel free to contact me if you need further details.

With best regards,

Volker Lendecke
