While this seems plausible, I can't think offhand of a player with a gigabit port, and buffering, of any kind, can really only cope with fluctuations in transmission speed; it cannot compensate when the network is just too slow. I lack the ability to work out how much of the capacity of a 100Mbps port is taken up by a 192/24 stream, but I don't recall any previous report that this is a problem.
