The MaxNetStreams parameter defines the total number of RX and TX streams, while MaxStreamIds sets the valid stream ID.

Configuring the number of network streams

The maximum number of network streams is configured using the MaxNetStreams parameter in the ntservice.ini file. The valid range is 128 to 4096, with a default value of 256. See ntservice.ini file in DN-0449.

The MaxNetStreams setting combines both RX and TX streams. For example, if MaxNetStreams is set to 256, this corresponds to 128 RX streams and 128 TX streams.

Configuring the maximum stream ID

The maximum stream ID is configured using the MaxStreamIds parameter in the ntservice.ini file. The valid range is 128 to 4096, with a default value of 256. See ntservice.ini file in DN-0449.

MaxStreamIds sets the maximum value a Stream ID can have. For example when MaxStreamIds is set to 512, the following NTPL statements are valid:
Assign[StreamID=511]=All
Or
Assign[StreamID=(0..511)]=All
