## How it works

By default, Cloudflare **streams** traffic data, meaning that each packet is sent as it becomes available. This can improve the delivery of large files. However, this streaming behavior only applies to dynamic traffic; cacheable traffic is buffered and this behavior cannot be changed.
By default, Cloudflare **streams** traffic data, meaning that each packet is sent as it becomes available. This can improve the delivery of large files. However, this streaming behavior only applies to dynamic traffic; cacheable traffic (that is, **any** status noted in [Cloudflare cache responses](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/concepts/cache-responses/) with the exception of **DYNAMIC**) is buffered and this behavior cannot be changed.
