How to calculate server bandwidth usage

[FliesLikeABrick]

A Soldat server takes, on average, 25-30MB of RAM.  2.5.2 with scripting enabled takes more, I believe 50-60MB (EnEsCe can confirm this or correct me).

How does the answer one would come up with using your formula Flies help them? How does it effect game play? (asking because I dont know)

How much does the new Dedicated server use RAM?
2.6.0 and 2.6.1

[EnEsCe]

Average around 7MB

[-Major-]

Well this is what I get:

Server: 3400~ Kb RAM
Map: 40-80~ Kb RAM
Player: 200-600~ Kb RAM

I don't know how much a script takes.

but I would say 1 server with 10 players would take probably 7400 Kb~ or 7.23~ Mb RAM

even though with scripts I have no idea. but how much processor does it take for, Server, scripts, players, map?

That's nice script.

Hmm, I have a 512kbit/s upstream cable modem, yet it seems that things start lagging around 6 slots connected. According to your calculations, I should be able to handle much more than 6 slots. What gives?

No calculation can give you perfect results, FLAB also declared that. There are more variables to count in if hosting a server (please, do read the whole topic, it's not long).

It should within a few days when the server issue gets resolved.

hmm, it appears to be mirrored here:
