When we have both of our 32 slot servers full, and the arena server we are using about 10mbps of bandwidth which is about 1.1mb/s. SRCDS doesn't seem like it scales well bandwidth utilization wise since I think one full 32 slot will use around 2.5mbps but you can limit the bandwidth that passes between the client and the server to your liking, and scale it to match what you have available with sv_maxrate and sv_minrate. I've got mine set at 30000 and 20000 (in bytes) respectively. You could half those values and see how it goes.
The trouble with answering your question is that there are variables involved, and without explaining what is going on there's no quick yes or no answer. -Matt On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 7:02 PM, Frank Dragonsdoom V <[email protected]>wrote: > I hate to sound like a newbie and ask this here, but I can't really find a > concise answer in layman's terms to my question. > > How much bandwith(in megabytes if possible) would I need for a 16-20 slot > TF2 server and would my residential connection be able to support that sort > of traffic. > > I have a cable connection that gives me about 8000 kb/s downstream and 430 > kb/s upstream, what amount of slots would I be able to run with that, > assuming a decent computer to run the dedicated server on? > > Thanks for any assistance. > > -- > -Frank 'Dragonsdoom' V > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
