hi, i wane know how much band / month is needed it for 16 players to play 6-8 hours a day on a server? thanx

Yes, if anyone knows, could you please post your stats?

I am very interested as well.

Thanks!

i want to know too!

For counterstrike you need about 680 bytes per second per player, but I have not idea what that works out to in total bandwidth - it would depend on how active the server is and how many are playing.

But just for grins, assume 3 hours, 6 players.

6 x 3 x 60 x 60 = about 6.5 megabytes. So for one month x 30 = 1.5 gigabytes.

And that is just for 3 hours a day and only 6 players.

I have no idea if those figures are correct, because all it considers is the data being passed while playing.
I do know that a 15 player server will eat about 2.5 gigabytes per day.

Here they use about 50 gigs a month

and a public UT2003 uses about the same so far...
:)

I don't play counterstrike so this is just a guess but I'd assume each player needs arounds 5-10Kbps so bandwidth wise you're talking around 150-200Kbps.

so assuming I did my math right I'd say your looking at roughly 150gigs a month in transfers

It really depends on the clients update/command rates. I use slightly tweaked rates and I average 5K/s in, 5K/s out. I think the default rates are about 3K/s in, 3K/s out.

So you figure 6K/s per player * 60 Seconds * 60 Minutes * 8 hours = 172800K per day (172 Megs) per player.

172 Megs per player, per 8 hour day. So about 2.8Gigs/day for 16 players, playing for 8 hours a day. About 84 Gigs/month, unless I miffed something up.
