The streams section was dropped quite a while back when the tables were refreshed.  Even SP19 docs dont have it.  

 

For dedup mode, the guidance revolves around the ddbs (both older docs and new are consistent)

The default streams at MediaAgent level is 100. This covers almost all the cases like 1 node, 2 node, 4 node...etc, and there may not be a need to tweak this setting at MediaAgent level. That’s the reason we removed it from hardware specifications to simplify and avoid any confusions.

ok understand it , so it doubles automatically when we have for example an two node configuration right ?

Default Limit for a single MediaAgent is 100, but depending on your Hardware-Sizing and other tasks the Server runs in addition, like VSA Processing, IndexServer, etc, this might already be too much. Or your servers are bored-out and you can set it up to 200, suggest to increase Memory usage in ctsrvr.cfg if you go that route, defaults there are rather conservative.
