Hello NedPyle I am not sure if I understood the design 2 correctly.
If I have a Windows 2022 LTSC it seems the SMB over QUIC firewall settings are disabled (incoming) by default for Domain Network / Private Network.
Is this correct, and if so, why?
I have checked that Windows 10 21H1 has no SMB over QUIC predefined firewall rules, so I can only assume it will be a thing in Windows 10 21H2 just as with Server 2022 is 21H2.
Let's assume the client and server both support QUIC
- do I need to actively configure the firewall for same domain or same subnet / private (see above)
- will QUIC be used for SMB preferably over TCP or SMBDirect (I am not sure if this is used in Client/Server, the only scenario I connect it to is something like ScaleOut-FS)
- If a client / server SMB transfer uses QUIC, does this make SMB encryption (e.g. configured via Server Manager or WAC) obsolete?
- If a client / server SMB transfer uses QUIC how does this affect SMB Multichannel as I've learnt some basics here: SMB Multichannel performance - Azure Files | Microsoft Docs
Thanks in advance for your time on elaborating my questions, a docs or a new article for more details!
