Cisco Catalyst 2960 and wireless streaming question

Hopefully with a good wireless bridged connection the Naim Ethernet settings will be just as viable.

It would be interesting to know what Naim does in the settings - after all - TCP packets get to the buffer then all line up in perfect order on both mediums.

If the wireless bridge is adhoc mode (Single point to point) as opposed to the more standard infrastructure mode (Centralised access point) then it might get closer to Ethernet performance dynamics… but adhoc mode is more unusual in consumer equipment.

The settings are to do with transport layer window sizes and algorithm for aggressively starting a stream and then backing off… so I believe. This is all about avoiding dropouts, especially at the start of tracks etc… this might have been relaxed a bit with the newer streamers.
Underneath the covers there is a lot of backwards and forwards flow with TCP… and the dynamics of this differs between wifi and duplex Ethernet.
