## 1. Overview

Persistent handles (also known as durable handles) allow SMB3 connections to survive network disconnections, server reboots, and client reconnections. This feature is critical for enterprise reliability and seamless failover scenarios.

## 2. Protocol Specification Reference

- **MS-SMB2 Section 2.2.13.2.3**: SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST
- **MS-SMB2 Section 2.2.13.2.4**: SMB2_CREATE_DURABLE_HANDLE_REQUEST_V2
