I don't have individual information but here's what I do have; We run a total of 10 CS:S servers on a single server. Server specs are: Dual Opteron 248, 4 gigs ecc ram, Raptor 74gb, Fedora core2 2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp 8 of the servers are 20 player public servers with 7 running at 33tick and one at 66tick 2 of the servers are 12 player CAL match servers running at 100tick Our average player load is around 100 players on the 8 public servers, here's an output of TOP for 95 players Css4 full with 20 regular players - 33tick Css6 full with 20 regular players - 33tick Css8 2bots only - 66 tick Css5 5 regular players - 33tick - custom map Css2 full with 20 regular players - 33 tick Css1 full with 20 regular players - 33 tick Css3 4 bots only - 33 tick Css7 4 bots only - 33 tick Cal1 empty - 100tick Cal2 empty - 100tick Tasks: 82 total, 4 running, 78 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 44.3% us, 1.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 53.8% id, 0.1% wa, 0.1% hi, 0.4% si Mem: 4060184k total, 3639344k used, 420840k free, 311984k buffers Swap: 4096532k total, 0k used, 4096532k free, 1622004k cached 21243 cstrike 15 0 161m 88m 9132 S 31.4 2.2 43:44.96 srcds_amd_css4 21301 cstrike 16 0 155m 83m 9144 S 29.5 2.1 72:26.85 srcds_amd_css6 21380 cstrike 15 0 205m 136m 9080 S 9.8 3.5 25:01.73 srcds_amd_css8 21852 cstrike 15 0 176m 107m 9128 S 9.8 2.7 12:14.32 srcds_amd_css5 21226 cstrike 15 0 157m 87m 9132 R 28.8 2.2 25:29.34 srcds_amd_css2 21212 cstrike 15 0 177m 109m 9128 S 30.3 2.8 25:35.39 srcds_amd_css1 21235 cstrike 15 0 179m 111m 9124 S 5.9 2.8 25:02.62 srcds_amd_css3 21327 cstrike 15 0 222m 154m 9140 S 5.9 3.9 27:19.71 srcds_amd_css7 21377 cstrike 15 0 129m 59m 8760 S 0.7 1.5 8:10.61 srcds_amd_cal1 21395 cstrike 15 0 124m 54m 8728 S 0.7 1.4 2:28.90 srcds_amd_cal2 For all servers combined we average around 3.6Mbits/sec out and around 1.2Mbits/sec in during peak load times. No other services run on this machine. We finally shut down our last remaining 1.6 server a couple months ago due to lack of players.
