Default Cache Read Ahead: Text
Field
(Add Server Pop-up only)
The default size (measured in bytes) for read-ahead speed in the cache.
To calculate this value, multiply the link latency (in milliseconds) by the meas-
ured site-to-site bandwidth in (kilobytes per second) and divide that by the
number of simultaneous file access users. This option can be overridden for
individual shares.
Example equation: BDP/<expected number of user sessions> where BDP =
link rate in kilobytes * link latency.
