Each appliance can support a certain number of concurrent (active) SMB connections, even if one of the controllers is not
available. The following table lists the supported SMB configurations.
Table 10. Supported SMB Configurations

● 10,000 per 24-GB appliance
● 30,000 per 48-GB FS8600 appliance
Concurrent active connections 5000 per appliance
Large MTU (up to 256 KB) connections

Share names are kept as UTF-8 characters, which might, depending on the character set used, consume multiple bytes.
Therefore, the actual maximum length depends on the character set used.
