Title: Server Bandwidth Usage Test
Post by: arramus on June 08, 2009, 07:38:37 PM
A Q came up at Tripwire about bandwidth usage on a full KF server so I tested an application that monitors up and down usage. Here are the results.

An application like DU Meter (//http://www.dumeter.com/) can monitor your bandwidth and report back your up and down usage. It can report in kbps or KB/s as per your specifications. This app has a one month free trial. There may be others out there for free.

Anyway, in this picture running a 6 man server the report came back at:

Receiving: 14.5 KB/s (118.78 kbps)
Sending: 58.2 KB/s (476.77 kbps)
Peak: 60.3 KB/s (493.98 kbps)

At map change there will also be a large spike.

My KillingFloor.ini:

MaxClientRate=15000
MaxInternetClientRate=10000

In this test 5 players were joining from outside the LAN and I was playing via LAN.

If anyone else wants to report there findings with another application it'll help us compare.
