portal.thomas@gmail.com 4 Posted May 28, 2012 Hi guys,I just realized I had a spare comp powerful enough to run a DayZ server. My only concern is that it will run on my "personal" bandwidth (understand not a professional backbone or whatever).My line is 5Mbits/sec upwards, meaning around 500 kBytes/sec, with no monthly limit or whatever, and has an excellent ping, thanks to optical fiber (12ms to ping Washington DC from France).Has anyone any idea about the number of slots I could host ? I've only found indications on TBytes per month but that's not really representative of bandwidth consumption peaks...Cheers ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsherenai 64 Posted May 28, 2012 They company I host my server on has detailed bandwith monitoring, I will search some data for you once I'm back home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blergh (DayZ) 14 Posted May 28, 2012 As far as i know, you'd need at least 10Mbps up for something around 10-15 players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moochie 1 Posted May 28, 2012 We are doing 10GB a hour for 100 slots during peak hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElRolle 97 Posted May 28, 2012 With 40 players online on my server the server process is using between 9-15Mbit with spikes up to 25Mbit. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
portal.thomas@gmail.com 4 Posted May 29, 2012 That does, thanks to everyone ! Looks like we'll have a tiny 10 slots then... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

portal.thomas@gmail.com 4 Posted May 29, 2012 UK11 is 20 slots, EU16 25... I even played on an Italian a while ago with 10 slots. Whats wrong with it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted May 29, 2012 thanks to optical fiber (12ms to ping Washington DC from France).The distance from Paris to Washington DC is over 6000KM. Light travels close to 300.000KM/second, thus even with absolutely no other hops and no delays what-so-ever you'd be looking at at least 20ms ;). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
portal.thomas@gmail.com 4 Posted May 29, 2012 I hate maths. (seems like they hosted their website elsewhere than homeland !)Anyway, since you're reading Vipeax, do you think I'll be allowed to run a 10 slots server or not ? Thx ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
