Well if your LAN can't handle that amount of traffic I suppose you should
upgrade to a gigabit switch and gigabit ethernet cards. Just saying... =P

Re: [hlds] 2008 R2 Timer Resolution

2011-03-12 Thread turb0z 
There would be no difference in performance with HPET on or off for anything
under 1000fps.

I will tell you that running 1000fps servers is heavy on the cpu.  My 24
slot 500fps uses approximately 7% cpu when full, while one 14 slot private
1000fps TF2 server will run at about 24% cpu load when full.  I dedicate one
private server per two cores.  I'm running a Core2Quad Q9550 just as a point
of reference.

Hope this helps.

What's resource usage on say an 600 fps server with HPET enable compared to
it disabled.   Or will resource usage be simply based on the configuration
of the game server itself?

I'm almost positive (just a caution) that you'll need the fps booster
regardless of HPET.  HPET just lets you set the fps value at startup to 0,
which puts the fps at 1,000.

The server is on its way to the data center now.  Once it is there I will

I also use HPET and run 2 1000fps private TF2 servers and people generally

In most cases, in order to get 1000 FPS in a Source server under Windows,
you need to have a processor and motherboard that supports "High Precision
Event Timer"(HPET) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer
on its chipset and BIOS features, run a timer booster program and set your
server's rates accordingly (I have not tried it with just HPET enabled and
no timer software, so I cannot attest it working with HPET only).

I have successfully run 1000 FPS servers but honestly, in spite of all the
hype about 1000 FPS from some gamers, no one I personally know has ever been
able to tell the difference between 500 FPS and 1000 FPS while playing
games. 

As for what we get for FPS with booster software, as long as you set your
rates (fps_max setting) properly, a Source server should get a consistent
512 fps.

Wow, 5 lines of code for the HiRes Timer and someone pastes them into a
project that requires .NET and builds an installer... Had he used VC6 he'd
have a single EXE file Windows-Service that'd run on Win 3.11 and up. (just
kidding)

Anyway, how much FPS do you guys actually get with this thing? Up to 512? At
least thats what I've always been getting on all my 2003 servers, without
running a booster.
I tried it once and it didnt make a difference.

Re: [hlds] Steam and IPV6 Functionality Discussion

2011-03-12 Thread Mart-Jan Reeuwijk 

Back in 1996 when I did my very first CNE training, there was already talk 
about 
IPv6 being tested cos address space was "soon not enough"... now 15 years later 
I'd say the IANA should have stopped giving out addresses 5 years ago for IPv4, 
only on absolutely need to have IPv4 to do an exception on per situ base. And 
by 
that force rolling out IPv6. Now its a "go IPv6, or die" situation. 


That being said, I've ordered 50.000 IPv6 addresses, need to give IP's to all 
things in my home... (probably not enough) from the spoons up to the roof 
tiles, 
at least it will be wireless connected, but the traffic will be intense. I 
mean... when it will be snowing the rooftiles need to communicate with the 
beams 
they lie on, about added weight, the beams ... /jest

I'm sure valve is ready. The problem is a lot of networks still don't support 
IPv6 yet. I'm on QWEST and I failed all the tests.
