Re: The 100 Gbit/s problem in your network

How about buy the movies in question, convert them to MP4, install a media server on a local box and configure Xbox, 
tablet, smart-phone, whatever to access the media server? That is how my 3 year old grandson watches the Bubble Guppies 
movie umpteen million times during a 4 day stay. Just a thought. Oh, it also affords my wife and I the luxury of having 
our entire movie collection available for on demand viewing. No searching through cases or disc binders. Just a thought.

(Children watching a movie only once? Not a chance. It's more like 
unlimited number of times and then some more...).

So don't set-up an cache server at your home/residence.
