# Multi-Channel Feature - Detailed Design Document

## 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.

### Key Features

- **Multi-Protocol Support**: HTTP/HTTPS, File System, FTP, SMB/CIFS, Cloud Storage (MinIO, S3)
- **Comprehensive Content Extraction**: Office documents, PDFs, archives, images, audio/video files
- **Multi-Threading**: Configurable thread pools for high-performance crawling
- **Fault Tolerance**: Built-in retry mechanisms and error handling

applications to take full advantage of two-way replication even before the two sites get fully synced.

In the case of multi destination replication, the replication status shows `COMPLETED` only after the replication operation succeeds on each of the targets specified in the replication configuration. If multiple targets are configured to use active-active replication and multi destination replication, the administrator should ensure that the replication features enabled (such as replica metadata...
