Min/max bandwidth settings

[Dashers 0]

I am about to put up a dedicated OFP server, but it's been such a long time since I've done dedicated server stuff (and then it was on an ADSL connection), so I'm a bit out of sync.

MinBandwidth and MaxBandwidth. Is this in KBytes/sec? Bytes/sec, Kbits/sec? I'm presuming, by way of the server documentation it's bits/sec, but I just want to be sure.

If so what would be an excepatble maxrate for a 100mbps connection? Theortically I guess it's MaxBandwidth=104857600; but I'm sure there are some people out there with experience with tweaking their configs.

Regards,

Dash.

Most commercial servers (10Mbit - 155Mbit) use the following settings.

MaxMsgSend=384;

MaxSizeGuaranteed=512;

MaxSizeNonguaranteed=256;

And dont bother with Min/Max Bandwidth.

I am lead to believe that the settings make LESS differance with the sockets netcode than with the old Directplay settings.

If you are running a 1.46/9 server then use the above settings with min bandwidth @ 768000.
