Dedicated servers are needed and serve a purpose, otherwise everyone
would just host from home and not pay for servers.
One main factor that hasn't been mentioned is the fact that GSP's
provide 5-15 major backbone connections directly to their server which
means each player has a good chance

How many ACTIVE L4D servers can you guys run on a 2.5 Ghz Quad Xeon
1333MHz? Seems that I can only run 3-4 per box without people
complaining about lag, that is less than 1 per core. I see each server
using around 25-35% CPU of a core and 6-9 of the whole box. I know this

The wording is kinda hard to understand maybe. But it is saying that
the game server itself cannot be used as a proxy. That means it can't
host viewers. But you can connect a proxy to it.
Are you having problems getting a standalone proxy to connect to your
server?

Though your hardware is pretty strong, 1000fps x 32 players seems like a
lot for the CPU to have to do every 1ms.
I don't usually run that many players on 1000fps to prevent exactly this
kind of problem, but I can't say for sure it is just the load causing
it. Perhaps others can chime in on

Actually that part at the bottom is entirely wrong.
The key reason to run higher FPS is the render time. At 1000FPS, the
server is rendering one frame every 1 millisecond (ms). This means
that the worst-case adder to the player ping is only 1ms, IE: the
player gets more accurate data and

My thought on this, if you are running 10+ servers with 500fps 100 tick
then ya you are probably hitting the limits of the hardware in terms of
context switching. I run a similar box and can't go more than about 30%

Should be fine for a 20 player server at default settings. The real
