Hi, I am trying to setup a dedicated game server for about 150000 players to start of with on the internet and then I hope that about 300000 players will start playing it. I have done some research and caluclations. But need to find some more information on it. I have caluclated about 50kp per player upsteam which works out to be +- 9375mbits upsteam and. 256mb of ram per 4 players which will work out to be about 19200000mb.

What server system or other requirements can you surguest?

Regards
Instantkevin

"150000 players to start of with"

you are looking at some heavy duty clusters. A cluster is just a bunch of servers hooked up together, and they have the same specs. that is a huge number, what game are we talking here?

The specs would be go something like this:
16 xeon processors, with 32GB of RAM. and you'd have, i don't know, 10,000 servers clustered together. Sounds like a multimillion dollar project.
