Server questions on ZAP

by Eric Bucher · in General Game Discussion · 12/23/2007 (10:45 am) · 2 replies

I have some rudimentary questions on the server side of ZAP and I was hoping someone could help me out here. Has anyone got some rough numbers as to how much network traffic a client generates in bits/sec to the server? Also, what was the maximum number of simultaneous users ever seen on a ZAP server. What OS does the server itself run and what were the physical specs of that machine?

many thanks,
eric

I would recommend looking at the Torque Network Library, which has the server as an example. The GPL version is free to use as long as you release your source code as per the license.

We've gotten up to twenty or supposedly thirty at a time, though it's very rare.

The peak of Zap! right now is to get 10. More likely it's 3 or 4 spread over a couple of servers now-a-days.
