 In our example we named our network "zalenium" and the stack was named "STACK" so the network
 will have the name `"STACK_zalenium"`, which we passed to `"--swarmOverlayNetwork"`.
 
+#### Options

+### Known Errors
+
+Executed tests run into following forwarding errors:
+- `was terminated due to FORWARDING_TO_NODE_FAILED`
+- `cannot forward the request unexpected end of stream on Connection`
+The docker swarm seems to be overloaded. Try to reduce `--maxDockerSeleniumContainers` to unload
+your docker swarm system. A good value is the number of all cpu cores available in the docker swarm.
