Bandwidth usage with BOTS
I am just curious on something. I have put some thought into putting my server up for public usage, something I have never done before. To date my server has only been used for family and friends. Currently my server has a ton of ram, 8 drive hardware raid, 24gb memory, i-7 so I know as far as the hardware, it is pretty damn tight. I have large battery backups on the switches, modem, and the server. My pipe coming in to my house is 10/50 cable so I know the 10mb upload would handle more clients than my server would ever attract. I am a realist and know unless I put a ton of time into the admin portion and made an attractive website I probably would not attract more than 10 people at a time. So my question is for the people that are allowing Bots on their servers. Do the Bots use up a lot of bandwidth ? Allowing maybe 5 Bots at a time per client does each Bot pull bandwidth on the server ? I am trying to figure out if the Bots cause traffic like clients do when they are in the same zone. I seem to remember reading that Bots use bandwidth just like a client does. So 10 Bots would use the same bandwidth as 10 players. I could be wrong, seems like I read that.
