- [ ] Create resource monitoring
- [ ] Implement automatic re-registration
- [ ] Add cluster node tracking
- [ ] Create failover coordination

#### 6.3 Integration Points
- Integrate with `CIFSContext` for witness support
- Modify `SmbTransport` for failover handling
- Update `DfsResolver` for witness-aware resolution

## 1. Overview

SMB3 Multi-Channel enables the use of multiple network connections between client and server, providing increased throughput, network fault tolerance, and automatic failover capabilities. This feature aggregates bandwidth across multiple NICs and provides seamless failover when network paths fail.

## 2. Protocol Specification Reference
