Hi guys!
I'm going to get a new connection with 64MBit/s downstream and 5MBit/s upstream. So I was wondering if it is possible to host a L4D2-server locally at home through this connection. I already have an unused dualcore-pc here.

At the moment I have two questions about this:
1. Are 5MBit/s upstream enough for an 8-slot vs-server?
2. Some serverhosters have some kind of banners showing the detailed status of your server. How are they accessing the data?

thx in advance
House

Thank you for your reply.

In the meantime I was able to find out how to get the game status:
