-Introduction to Streaming
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The concept of streaming refers to the transportation of samples between host and device.
-A stream is an object that facilitates streaming between host application and device.
-An RX stream allows the user to receive samples from the device.
-A TX stream allows the user to transmit samples to the device.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Link Layer Encapsulation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The VITA49 standard provides encapsulation for sample data across a link layer.
-On all second generation hardware (and later), samples are encapsulated into VRT IF data packets.
-These packets also provide sample decoration such as stream time and burst flags.
-Sample decoration is exposed to the user in the form of RX and TX metadata structs.
-
-The length of an IF data packet can be limited by several factors:
-
-* **MTU of the link layer:** network card, network switch
-* **Buffering on the host:** frame size in a ring buffer
-* **Buffering on the device:** size of BRAM FIFOs
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Data Types
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-There are two important data types to consider when streaming:
-
-* The data type of the samples used on the host for processing
-* The data type of the samples sent through the link-layer
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The host/CPU data type
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The host data type refers to the format of samples used in the host for baseband processing.
-Typically, the data type is complex baseband such as normalized **complex-float32** or **complex-int16**.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The link-layer data type
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The link-layer or "over-the-wire" data type refers to the format of the samples sent through the link.
-Typically, this data type is **complex-int16**.
-However, to increase throughput over the link-layer,
-at the expense of precision, **complex-int8** may be used.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Conversion
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The user may request arbitrary combinations of host and link data types;
-however, not all combinations are supported.
-The user may register custom data type formats and conversion routines.
-See **uhd/convert.hpp** for further documentation.

-TODO: provide example of convert API
