Thanks for your answer. The term really needs the hyphen between 'head' and 'end' (head-end) to make proper sense. Thanks again.

network buffer

Hi Richard,

"Network Buffer" .. I think that's what it's talking about.

Try googling "network buffer size"

Good luck
Ben!

in that case, it sounds like it should be network buffer after all .. seems that the Portuguese is a somewhat disjointed, looks like a translation from another language, probably explains the quote marks too.
