Gameserver Average Traffic

[Deimos]

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for a question like this, but i'm taking my chances

What is the (average) amount of data traffic for a (public) gameserver ???

We're thinking of maybe renting a dedicate d server (not sure yet), and we are now considering a few options, but basically have no idea on what the traffic on a gameserver is on average..

We would like to run games like
- MOH:AA
- COD
- FarCry
- Joint Ops ???

Any help/answer will be greatly appreciated ...

Thnx for your time.

There's no true average usage.

A 32 man SD server won't take nearly the bandwidth of a 32 man TDM, simply because there's not as much action going on.

I run a 32 man TDM and a 20 man TDM. The 32 is full from 10am-2am, and the 20 is full 24/7 (1.1). At peak times I'll be pushing 5mbit outgoing.

Bandwidth per month usually goes between 600-800GB outgoing (I'm not charged for incoming, but most DC's do).
