samba - Nov 2012 - Question about filtering

Hi,
We are having some performances problems with users that have folders
shared over their internal networks.
We were wondering, when the user list files using dir *.dat  or calls
/FirstNextFile , is the filtering done on the local  or on the remote
one?

Thanks in advance!

You would need a network capture to be sure - the client can do either
in theory, but the protocol is perfectly capable of doing this remotely.
