I mounted a directory (/mnt/nfs) via NFS, and played the vide clip in the 
mounted folder:
mplayer /mnt/nfs/hd.avi -loop 10 -nocache

Using System Monitor of 'server' machine, I saw the network traffic showed 
in the bottom curve. The red cruve (the hilly shape)  indicates video 
traffic was being sent to 'workstation'. I actually expected there would 
be 10 hilly shapes like that since I looped for 10 time and nocache. But 
it did not. What is the reason behind that?
