Anyone been playing with their maxrate setting (serverside) and got any conclusions? A rate of 10,000 worked well in MOH for us ...

It really depends on your connection.

Assuming you have a leet connection to your DS, then you would need to adjust the rate for the amount of clients.

With out doing specific rates, here is a general setting.

14 players = 6-8000
16 players = 8000
18-20 players 10-12000
20-24 players 18000

above that 25000 or more.

If you have a 100mb pipe that is uncapped and fully burstable those settings should work fine.

How do you adjust maxrate in COD?

Our CoD server is on a 2mbit line and so far I've not changed the maxrate ... we've had 32 players online during the peak hours and its pulling about 1.25mbit on average. I'd like to get the average down to about 1mbit so I guess I will try 16000 and see how we go.

The maxrate serverside is set in your cfg file - clientside it defaults to 25000 and can be changed in multiplayer options.

/seta sv_maxrate <value> in the server.cfg(whatever you have it named)

Does it matter where you add this in the config files?
