 M-Stream is a File Fabric feature that speeds up the uploading, downloading and copying of very big files. Large files are split into pieces, sent in parallel over multiple streams, and reassembled back into a contiguous file or object at the target. In this way M-Stream maximizes network bandwidth, minimizes network latency, and increases resiliency, particularly for wide area networks.  M-Stream is a File Fabric feature that speeds up the uploading, downloading and copying of very big files.
