[mohaa] Server details

Also, in the example provided in the guide the max_rate is 2100 for a 16
player server on a cable modem?!?!?! Is this just an example, or this
possible? I mean, will setting the max_rate this low allow you to host that
many players on a 256Kbps upload line? My experience says no way. 

I have a 1.5 duplex line and am hosting a 24 player game.....I like this
number of players on the server, but if I were to set the max_rate to 4500,
could I host 36 players succesfully? Would the pings sky-rocket?

For each server? I have 2.2 Mbits of bandwidth and 10 servers of 12 players.
How do I calculate this? For each server or using all players (120) as if
was one big server?

Regards
André

Don't you guys read the guides @ mohadmin.com?

How to set Max rate

The sv_maxrate determines the amount of bandwidth your server uses for each
client. To determine the sv_maxrate, use this formula:
# of clients * sv_maxrate * 8(for 8bits) = upload speed

or

Upload speed / ( # of clients * 8 ) = sv_maxrate

For example, my cable modem downloads at 2mbit/sec. However, it uploads at
270kbps/sec. So, if I want to run a server that will host 16 clients I need
to set my sv_maxrate to 2100 and my formula will look like this:
16 * 2100 * 8 = 268kbps

I would then open the console and type in the following command:
set sv_maxrate "2100"

In the end, you're trying to get the formula to equal your upload
capabilities. This can be done by altering either the max clients or the
sv_maxrate values.
Follow this formula and your server should run a little better.

Keep in mind that your upload
speed ( the speed in which you send data back to the internet ) can be quit
a
bit slower then you upload speed ( the speed in which you receive data from
the
internet)

You can use one of many speed test
site's on the internet.  I would recommend DSLreports.
Not only can you test your upload
speed but there are many other test you can run. They even have some guides
to
help you improve your upload and download speeds.
