Bandwidth requirements

[theirongiant 10]

I'm spec'ing up a dedicated server at the moment and I have two options for bandwidth: a 10Mbit port with unlimited usage or 100Mbit port with 10,000Gb a month limit. I'm unsure as to which would be best suited to running arma, I realise it might be very situational but most recommendations I've found have suggested 100Mbit or 1Gbit but I can't see any ball-park figures for what usage over a month would be like for a run of the mill MP server.

Anyone care to throw some numbers at me?

Im currently running my server with max 40 players with a domination mod. I rarly go over 10mbit traffic to the server, even when new players connect, i have 250mb down/100mbit up from my ISP.

Cheers, appreciate the reply, by my calculations (which admittedly could very well be wrong) your usage per month probably won't top 4,000Gb?

You should be fine with the 10,000Gb/month limit, to exceed that you'd have to have several ArmA instances running.

Yeah go with 100mbit you will never breach 10 TB with one A3 server.

Cheers for the info folks, punched the numbers into my calculator and it made a smiley face, looks like I'll be good to go.
