Bottom line - it all depends. You can put a BILLION slots on a server, and the T1 will support them, but there might be a wee bit of lag. ;) Also - I'm guessing that many folks on this list are either home-based, or colocated; very few with a dedicated T1 that just services CS, so actual hard metrics may be hard to come by. But yes, playing with netgraph to determine what speeds you are allowing, and then dividing by T1, and then assuming there is no ambiguity or other external factors whatsoever, you'll have your answer, or at least a starting point. On a side note, try not to buy into marketing blather, "internet backbone", "QoS", "spikes to the core", etc. Good luck, and welcome to the community. Mike Yes, I know I'm top posting, terribly sorry. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Toker Sent: Sun 9/5/2004 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SPAM] - Re: [hlds_linux] Another bandwidth question - Bayesian Filter detected spam nah, I'm one hop off of the internet backbone. And its a real T1, not any type of DSL. DSL is crap, no QOS at all. I'm guaranteed 5x 9s uptime, and less than 20ms spikes to the core. Nobody has ansered the question. Hardware aside, and hops from Tier 1 provider, how much kbps per player is realistic with a T1? Again, hardware is not an issue, trust me. I have the latest and greatest on both AMD and Intel. I'm not worried about server specs. Bandwidth is what I am talking about. As for the server rates, use your imaginations. With the highest rates, how many slots can you fit on a T1? ----- Original Message ----- From: "richy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 4:08 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Another bandwidth question > This is not an easy question to answer as there isn't really an answer. > "IT DEPENDS" > > It depends on lots of factors, > 1.
