+The advanced user may manipulate parameters of the usb bulk transfers
+for various reasons, such as lowering latency or increasing buffer size.
+By default, the UHD will use values for these parameters
+that are known to perform well on a variety of systems.
+The following device address parameters can be used to manipulate USB bulk transfers:
+
+* **recv_xfer_size:** the size of each receive bulk transfer in bytes
+* **recv_num_xfers:** the number of simultaneous receive bulk transfers
+* **send_xfer_size:** the size of each send bulk transfer in bytes
+* **send_num_xfers:** the number of simultaneous send bulk transfers
+
+Example usage, set the device address markup string to the following:
+::
+
+ serial=12345678, recv_num_xfers=16
+
+ -- OR --
+
+ serial=12345678, recv_xfer_size=2048, recv_num_xfers=16
