Sounds like it maybe the router or your upload bandwidth. Jason -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Marszalek Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2007 2:45 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] High ping times with TF2 Server? --

6 people = 50ms, 7 people = 300ms. Most limiting factors cause a gradual increase of latency, not a sharp rise like this. This sounds like a resource that has it's limit at somewhere between 6 and 7 people - works great with 6, barfs with 7. If you don't have as much bandwidth as you think you

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] 24 people at 500 kiloBIT? Maybe byte, not bit. Honestly, that may be your limiting factor: bandwidth. Say you had 3 people on WAN, 3 people on LAN. When you add one more person, you have a slight increase in bandwidth to the WAN players

24 people on the LAN - not 24 people coming down from the Internet. I'm guessing the lan is 100mbps - if not gigabit. Even if it was an ancient 10mbps lan, it would still handle 24 people without exceeding 10% of the lan's capacity. It sounds to me like the players are coming in from the
