 === Webshark support ===
-The Allegro Network Multimeter allows having a preview of the first Megabyte of packets directly in the browser, called Webshark. To support this, the device needs a small amount of system memory for packet processing. This amount of memory (~100MB) will be reserved by the Multimeter and is not available for the In-Memory database used to store metadata, thus the history of stored metadata is a little shorter. If this is not desired, it is possible to disable the Webshark support. Changing this value requires a restart of the processing.

+This reserved amount of memory (RAM) is configurable and will not be available for the In-Memory database, thus the history of stored statistics in the dashboard becomes a little shorter. If this is not desired, it is possible to disable the Webshark support.
+Multiple parallel sessions/instances of Webshark previewing within one Allegro Network Multimeter is possible. The number of simultaneous Webshark instances and max. preview filesize (e.g. 5MB) are configurable but may vary depending on Allegro model and installed RAM.
+Changing Webshark parameters requires a restart of the processing.
