I just sniffed the traffic generated by fgfs. It sums up to about 10 packets per second and about 40 kbit/second. 10 packets per second is configurable via the --multiplay=out,... commandline switch, but defaults to 10. So we have about 40KBit/sec per client on the server side. The server forwards all packets to every directly connected clients (ie. users) and every server it knows about. So if we assume 6 clients and 4 servers we have 40*5*3 = 600 KBits/second outgoing traffic on a server (the server does not send to itself and does not send traffic from client 1 back to client 1). On the incoming side it sums up to 40*6 = 240KBits/second. As you can see, traffic is not much of a problem. But it's probably not a good idea to run fgms on a DSL link. regards, Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
