Linux Performance

[Eduardo E. Silva]

I have been testing this 1.5M/1.5M cable modem on a Linux based server:

Pentium III 800MHz
1 GIG of RAM
Intel Pro 100s set to 10mbps half duplex, because of cable modem limitation.

RedHat 7.0 with Kernel 2.4.18 built for P3

The server seems to be idle MOST of the times with CPU going from 70% to 80
idle. THe network does a 50KB per second transmitions and 30KB when 16 players
are blasting away.

The problem lies on the pings, once I hit 0ver 10 players the pings go over
300+ for everybody. I am on a different network behind the server and my pings
go from 1 to 15!.

FROM TOP
