Möchte dedizierten Server erstellen!

[F!shBone 0]

Hi,

also ich möchte einen Dedicated-Server aufsetzen, habe mir den standalone Server gesaugt und wollte jetzt mal wissen für wie viele Spieler ich den Server aufmachen kann und was ich am besten einstelle?

Verbindung:

max. 2MBit's down

max. 512KBit's up

Und wie schnell sollte der PC sein, bzw. auf was kommt es dabei an, z.B. Ram etc.

Hi!

Da quote ich mal die Faq von http://serveradmins.bfcentral.com:

5. How many users can I have on my server? How big of a connection do I need?

These are rough estimates, err on the high side, and aim for best performance (sure you could get more on less but that's when you get laggy/crummy servers):

'How big' primarily depends on bandwidth. A *good* DSL connection (1.5/768) can handle about 8-10 players MAX. Slower DSL (such as residential 1.5/256) would only be able to support about 4 players at best (same for cable as that is usually 256 to 384 on the upload). If you have a 1 Mb SDSL connection (or 1 Mb on your cable upload) you should be able to support a 12 player server

As a rough rule of thumb, each player requires anywhere from 50 to 80 Kb/sec. You need a *minimum* of a T1 to support a 16 player server, dual T1 (3 Mb) for a 32 player server, and just over 6 Mb for a 64 player server (although that can hit up to 7 Mb/sec depending on how many people are connecting and downloading maps). Basically you need some serious bandwidth for anything over a 16 player server and it should be dedicated hardware (i.e. it's only a server, no GUI or other apps running on it).

As far as the hardware, here is my rough estimate/guide based upon my actual experiences:

16 Players = 1 Ghz/128 Mb RAM

32 Players = 1.5+ Ghz/256 MB RAM

48+ Players = 2+ Ghz/512 Mb RAM

THE SERVER WILL CONSUME 85 TO 100% OF YOUR CPU. This means YOU CANNOT RUN A SERVER ON AND PLAY FROM THE SAME MACHINE. SERVERS MUST BE DEDICATED FOR OPTIMAL AND PROPER PERFORMANCE.
