I find myself being asked quite often about what CPU/net requirements it takes to run a server. I have answers based upon our internal playtesting but I would also like to hear what you guys use in the wild. So, my questions are: 1) What speed CPU do you use for a 32 player HL1 server (CS 1.6)
Dual Xeon 2.8ghz, 1g ram
2) What speed CPU do you use for a 32 player Source server (CS:S)
Same as above
3) How much bandwidth per user do you allow for a HL1 server
er, doesn't really matter. we open it up.
4) How much bandwidth per user do you allow for a Source server 5) How much difference is there in these requirements for other mods?
We really don't change anything. DOD and NS do require a bit more power, but we don't put more than 1 32 player server on a box at a time. It also depends upon what pingboost is required, and what sys_ticrate is set to as well. I could have a 32 player server on one machine, with a maxed out sys_ticrate and pingboost 3, and I wouldn't be able to put anything else on the server. Otherwise, I can normally put a 32 player, and a couple private 12-man servers on one box without any performance hits. -- Mike "DaiTengu" Miller 151 Hosting http://www.151hosting.com Operations Director United Admins http://www.unitedadmins.com http://www.daitengu.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
