Could someone please tell me how fast internet connection you would need (download and upload please) to run 4 dedicated servers from one computer or two dedicated servers from two computers?
THX!

Bandwidth: Bandwidth is used a lot—more specifically, upload bandwidth. Here is a list of how fast your connection must be to run a certain number of players at lowest settings. (When talking about bandwidth for servers we always talk about upload, not download.) Note: these numbers are theoretical, your results may vary slightly!
Code:
Upload Speed (Kbps)      Player Limit
        240                 6
        320                 8
        400                 10
        480                 12
        560                 14
        640                 16
        720                 18
        800                 20
        880                 22
        960                 24
        1120                 28
        1280                 32
        1440                 36
        1600                 40

These values are calculated with the following formula: (5,000 * player number * 8) / 1,000

I did this for Kanatzu, will ask him when he's back, he will have 24mb/sec broadband, but as we will run 4 servers, i guess we will have 14-16 slots each. Thx for quick answer mate!

rate
- Max bytes/sec the host can receive data (B/s)


Let's say rate 25000 B/s...
Can be calculate directly (16 players*4 dedicate*25 KB/s)/1000 = 1.6 MB/s
1.6 MB/s

But if we want convert bit (b)
(25000 B/s*16 players*8)/1000
= 3200 Kbps

3200 Kbps*4 dedicated
= 12800 Kbps

Final = 12.80 Mbps ~ 1.60 MB/s
Do not confuse
Mega bit per second = bit (b)
Mega byte per second = byte (B)

Quote:
...he will have 24mb/sec broadband
That is download ?
Upload more important than the download
Let's say it's 24MB/3.5MB.. not sure.Guessed.
Download = 24 MB/s ~192.00 Mbps
Upload = 3.5 MB/s ~ 28.00 Mbps

im writing from my mobile phone now. But, lets say

24 Mbps - Upload
80 Mbps - Download
Lowest server rates
4 dedicated
16 players each

Would that be possible on one pc.
If i get a simple answer on that one ima reward you somehow

okay thanks dude.

But wild guess, would you say 24 Mbps would be enough for 64 players? On 4 servers.
Well, if your interested in our new community send me pm. We might need more developers xd

(64 players*4 dedicate*25 KB/s)/1000 = 6.4 MB/s
Yes...

You have 24 Mbps NOT MB/s

(25000 B/s*64 players*8)/1000
= 12800 Kbps

12800 Kbps*4 dedicated
= 51200 Kbps

51.20 Mbps

nope
