So, from these few examples, you can see that network latency is<br>
introduced in places 2,3,5,10 hops away from you that neither you nor <br>
your provider have any control over, nor hopes of fixing.<br>
<br>
Now, what I came here to say: YOU CAN'T ASK THE QUESTION "HOW MANY<br>
PLAYERS CAN I SUPPORT" AND EXPECT A REALISTIC ANSWER, assuming that you <br>
are talking about player experience, or people playing on a LAN.<br>
<br>
BTW, I work for Internet Systems Consortium (<a href="http://www.isc.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.isc.org</a>) on the BIND<br>
and DHCP training and support team. We get questions all the time <br>
asking "how big a server do I need to serve X number of zones and to<br>
support Y number of recursive clients... I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION<br>
EITHER, and for mostly the same reasons.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time and patience in reading this entire e-mail. <br>
<br>
{and if you've actually read this far, please quit asking about sizing<br>
servers, K? THX!}<br>
