You could do a search on this forum and find something about 5kb/player in peak time

So, for 200 players, you need, about 5KB * 200 = 1000KB =~ 1MB of bandwidth?

This is, at least for me, a non-trivial question, for a proper sizing. Bandwidth costs :)

Maybe some suggestion could also be inserted in the "official" docs :D

xeon its probably 5 kbytes which means 5 * 200 = 1000 * 8 ( 1 byte = 8 bits ) = 8 Mbps

and this is not accurate for every shard, because it depends so much on the scriptset how everything is coded.
