Hi everyone,
I am currently running a 32 player cs server, my system specs are as follows
CPU: Athlon 1800+ (65% cpu usage on full server)
RAM: 512 Megs RAM (20% ram usage on full)
OS: Redhat 9
Connection: Optimum online cable (its fast ~ 1.2 Mb/sec upstream, 5Mb sec down)
Linksys 4 port home router
HLDS 3.1.1.1d - adminmod, statsme
When the server reaches somewhere over 20 people, the pings begin to spike - mine,
which is normally 20 on an empty server and like 50 with 16 people, jumps into the
high 100's / low 200's when the server becomes full. My question is do you
think this is a CPU problem, or more of a connection issue (i believe so), and if so,
would ditching the linksys and just using linux iptables routing be a better way to
reduce the latency?
I have a T1 (1.54Mb), and I don't start seeing ping spikes until about 40
players. The T1 is used for other things too, so it's not really maxed (almost
though).
I would say you're getting close to your limits on CPU *and* bandwidth. It's
easy to test though. Get a faster chips and see what happens. :)
