Why? Support for being a WNET server/listening for WNET connections should be un-related to accessing database files on CIFS, SMB or NFS shares (even though I would only consider using SMB v3 with RDMA for connecting to remote files) Sean Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel

[Firebird-devel] WNET future
All, We had discussed in the past that supporting WNET does not make sense, as it has nearly zero advantages over TCP and pretty much nobody uses it nowadays. Could we please make a final decision about that? Should it be dropped in v5 or somewhat later? Or should it be preserved during a foreseeable future?
