I have two BFS GigE cameras connected to a switch, and I drop frames when I try streaming from the second camera. I have reduced the framerate for the two cameras so that they don't go over the ethernet bandwidth limit.

  Even if you reduce the framerate of the cameras, that won't change the amount of bandwidth that each camera is attempting to take up.  To properly limit the bandwidth each camera takes up, users would need to change the "devicelinkthroughputlimit" node (the node uses "bytes per second" as its value), making it so that each camera's combined bandwidth doesn't exceed 120MB/S to ensure that they stream properly at their desired framerate.
