This thread is getting long so I might have missed any replies to this.


192/24 requires a doubling of the data-rate compared to 96/24, not to
mention compared to 44/16. The D/A is only a part of a whole ecosystem.
If you want it to operate at that speed, everything else needs to keep
up. That means faster NIC, faster busses, more memory, larger buffers,
faster CPU etc. In other words a different Transporter if you will.
Obviously the server must also keep up, so although 192/24 does not add
up to much in the TCP/IP world, lots of people use NAS-boxes which are
borderline underpowered for even 44/16.

I don't know how difficult/expensive it is to do all this, but this is
AFAIR the reason given by SD themselves as to why the TP will never do
more than today.
