I've generally understood the SMB/CIFS needed a NetBIOS interface / protocol sitting under it, and therefore there'd need to be an IPv6 version of NetBIOS over TCP/UDP. Conventional DNS can replace the NetBIOS name resolution process, however I'd thought there were more functions NetBIOS provided that just name resolution.
