There is little to be found on the internet about the current state of SMB implementation by Apple in OSX El Capitan. I am searching if El Capitan supports SMB 3.0 Multi Channel because that could make my second ethernet port becoming more useful.
LAG has been supported for a long time now by OSX but for single file/single threaded file transfer this holds no benefit. With Multi Channel you can actually go over the 1Gbps limit and is interesting to play around with.
The only information I could find around the topic is here, and here.
Anyone here with any experience with or know how about SMB 3.0 MC + OSX?
Is it true that in principle by connecting two Macs to the same simple router/switch, each with two gigabit ethernet connections, nothing else would have to be configured if SMB 3.0 MC is supported by OSX? Because for 802.11AD you would have to configure LAG in OSX and need a managed switched.
Thank you for any information! Also, any information around a NAS which supports SMB 3.0 MC would be welcome (consumer/prosumer grade Synology/QNAP do not seem to support this.. yet)
