Minimum adequate maxrate?

[[Toast]]

What is a minimum adequate sv_maxrate for Source fps's (TF2, CS:S, DoD:S)? I don't want to go too low and lag people up.

It depends on the amount of slots and the tickrate the server is running.

Example:
Tick 33, 10 slots: needs at least 5000
Tick 33, 30 slots: needs at least 10000

And that's just theoretically, when running the server you shouldn't get any choke. If there is, the maxrate is too low.
