[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Maths, its a skill for life!!
2Meg Connection usually means 2 Megabit b is for bit B is for Byte Do not forget it! Now for the rocket science maths! 2 Megabits = 2000Kbits/s 2000 / 8 = 250KiloBytes/Second Assuming it is a Symetrical connection 2Mb Up 2Mb Down then you have 250KB each way to play with. How you want to split it is up to you! If you want to support broadband users with properly optimised clients you are going to need 8-10KB/s per player If you only want to allow dumb arse defaults for people in backwards countries who only have 56K modems and haven't joined the 21st century yet, then you only need about 3KB/s each way per player. Does this help you? You may of course choose anything you want in between or even outside of those ranges, but ask youself this, there are >50,000 Counter-Strike Servers on the planet, do we really need another poorly configured one? ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Martin Dickson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [hlds] 2meg connection? Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 12:21:56 -0500 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm thinking about going colo with my dual xeon. It would be on a 2meg connection. The company doing the colo says this will easily accomodate 80 players in CS. One of my friends thinks it will hold 30 people. Could I get all of your opinions?
