bandwidth for N4 server

I have access to a fractional T1, 768Mbps up/down. How many connections will this accomodate for N4? TIA, Gerald

By default, an N4 server will use at most on the order of 21000 bits per second (each direction) per client connection. This includes game data, UDP/IP packet header overhead, plus a fudge factor. If I recall correctly, a full T1 is ~ 1.5Mbits/sec, so I can only assume that a fractional T1 would be ~768Kbits/sec (not 768Mbits/sec). So you're looking at ~(768Kb/sec) / ~(21Kb/sec/client) = ~36 clients. Your mileage may vary.

A fractional T1 can be any number of channels out of a full T1(T1 has 24 channels), he seems to have access to 12 channels that seem to be inbound and outbound configured. Each channel is about 60K IIRC. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Randy Cassidy <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a1ct5u$rmu$[email hidden]... > By default, an N4 server will use at most on the order of 21000 bits per > second (each direction) per client connection.

The above mathmatical calculations are based on the assumption that the bandwidth is uninterrupted and with most access lines (T1, T3, OC3 etc), they are hardly ever uninterrupted. According to Papy and my independant testing, the above math is accurate in theory.

Yes, you are right, I brain-fotted... Wow, 36 clients. Thats more than I expected. Very cool. Thanks, Gerald "Randy Cassidy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<a1ct5u$rmu$[email hidden]>...

Yes, I think each fraction is the same thing as an ISDN BRI channel (64k). Some data comm guru will probably want to shoot me for saying that. Gerald "Biz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<91n_7.238274$[email hidden]>...

I've heard of 56k B channels, but mine are 64k, supposedly. Gerald "Jone Tytlandsvik" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<a1eqm8$q6k4m$[email hidden]>...
