Ok i am starting a hosting company with a group of friends. With 1 Main 'Super AOW' and a bunch of servers run by our costomers. With the 'Super AOW' are more of a real time gamming experiance, using the game as a 'War' instead of a game. cause in other servers u have to follow rules with game play. but with my our server there will be no rules except foul playm as in swearing, racism, trash talk, smack talk, and disrespecting moderators. Cause in 'real life war' u do anything to acheive an objective, stay alive, or help others or your team. which means harvey walking = stealth and smart way of taking base defences easy, and Flaming apcs = easy tank removal, harvey destruction, and infantry/ 1k char desposal.
The main issue is that when u start servers u have to have a good connection. in server.ini it says u have to have a min of 60kbs per player / 8 player server = 250k ....? 2 types of speeds here... we have the Upload rate, and Download rate.. which does the server.ini speak of? and with NR does the bandwidth box use bytes or KBs or Mb?
and how are AO hosting, c4u, jelly, and the other companies hosting servers @ $24-30 for a 16 player server? cause bandwidth cost for most ppl 60$ for a 6mb dwn/ 756 up... which if 250k in server.ini for 8 players = 3 servers, or 1 16 player server and a
8 player server. or for me 130$ a month 7 mbs down/ 1 mb up.
errr sorry for the long message but I need some help here

Well, they don't host their servers at home but in a real data center, which means they have 100 or even 1000Mbit up and down.
And you'll need atleast 4 Mbit up for a proper 24p server, or 2 that have 12 etc... so unless you want to spend serious money on dedicated servers, I would quit right here.

kk that may be true but i need to know is that 100 - 150 kbs per player... is IT upload speed or download speed?
|
It is the upload speed, because 70 % of the server traffic belongs
to outgoing traffic (Imagine that the server has to send the position of every tank/player/object to every connected client. The player just sends his position to the server).

Setting the setting to 0 or leaving it blank, means the FDS autodetects the optimal speed (doesn't work very well :/).
When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

The Net Update Rate is good around 10-15. Lower than 8 and you get super high pings, higher than 20 causes too many packet losses (sending more out than your actual bw can handle) unless you're absolutly sure your bandwidth can take it but don't forget the average domestic hosehold only has around 4000kbps download speed. Just a matter of trial and error.
There's a server ini setting called BW up, this is what you set to those values i described above, not the NUR (NUT, w.e you want to call it). To set the NUR properly, set it to 10 as a start then slowly increase each time your server restarts/looses connection/shuts down etc untill you get a decent ping range and good client kbps. You can view all that info with the "pinfo" console command.

oh yes, I thought he meant the bandwidth setting
