GB use of cs:s server?
#1
Hey.

I would like to run a dedicated counter-strike:source server on my linux machine.

My question is - how many GB/month will the server use?

20 slots
tickrate 33
Nettraffic/month ???

20 slots
tickrate 66
Nettraffic/month ???

20 slots
tickrate 100
Nettraffic/month ???

good estimates of max use here:

FYI: 1Mb/sec is ~330Gb month, actually more like 300Gb given overhead etc but you'll get a good picture.

Ill ask in another way:

Can I run a counter-strike:source - 20 slot - tickrate 33 with 200GB/month ?
Can I run a counter-strike:source - 20 slot - tickrate 66 with 200GB/month ?
Can I run a counter-strike:source - 20 slot - tickrate 100 with 200GB/month ?

I dont know how to do the math - even with the link i #1

20slots * 5KB/s * 60 * 60 * 24 * 31 = 267840000 KB/month = 267.84 GB/month
That's if it's full 24/7
If you have a very busy server lets say it's full for 80% of the time
267.84 * 0.80 = 214.27 GB/month

5KB/s <--- is that tickrate 33, 66 or 100 ?

That would be 33 tick

66= ~12KB/s
100 = ~20KB/s

that's on full servers per slot, a low slot 66 tick server can run at 8KB/s, at full servers it can spike to 20KB/s so it's just about averages you'll see.
