SMB is request/response yes.
However, SMB allows you to have multiple(more than one) concurrent requests
in flight at
any give time.
This limit is negotiated in either the SessionSetup or the TreeConnect
PDU(dont remember by heart)
and it is called MaxMpxCt .

It would be useful if ethereal could flag when a client had reached (or
where close to)
its MaxMpxCt limit.
