Streaming Output Must Match Your Network Capacity

Excelerator's SMC parameters default settings are for unlimited network bandwidth.

You must set the Maximum Downstream Bandwidth parameter to match your network. Otherwise, Excelerator can serve streaming media output that exceeds the capacity of your network hardware, including the appliance's network cards.

When this happens, the resulting back log can result in lost packets and other more severe problems, including the Excelerator system crashing

For information on this and other SMC tuning parameters, see the Administration Guide.
