DayZ Server (Speed usage)

[alanbr00 0]

How much a dayz server spend on speed connection? Like a DayZ Server with 5 players as example.

I'm not asking about bandwidth, i'm asking about ex:. '25kb per second....'.

Full 40 player server uses around 2000 kilobyte per second in upload. And around the same in download. So if you have full duplex then around 2000. If you don't have full duplex then it will be around 4000.

My server uses around 2TB a month in total. Both upload and download counted. But it's not a high populated server. It gets full on weekends and around 10 players during week days. Empty during nights.

Ok, but i'm trying to see how much players do i could hold at my connection. I have:

60kb-70kb Upload

1,2MB Download

Obs:. Real numbers. Not nominals.

A player sends 8 kilobytes of payload and server sends 4 kilobytes of payload per second.

This is in average. it depends on server and client configurations.

A player can send up to 30 kilobytes per second.

For your server you will need 8 Mbps bandwidth both direction.

First graph : network traffic shape with MaxSizeGuaranteed=1348 and MaxSizeNonguaranteed=1348 (both at the maximum to avoid fragmentation), for 12 players. Note that bytes/sec is payload above UDP. You need to add 58 bytes of header per packet to get Layer 2 (Ethernet) payload.

Second graph (from my provider) : network bandwidth for the 2 servers altogether (25 players in average in global).

Meanwhile I reduced MaxSizeGuaranteed to 200:
