I just studied all of this, so this may be helpful to tordo, or others reading in the future.
The BMS-Manual says:
para. 3.2.4 (pg 3-19)
“….default is 500. Minimum allowed value is 150.”
para. 7.1 (page 7-81)
“As a general rule of thumb upload speeds should be higher than 0.4 Mb/sec and pingtime less than 250 ms.”
para. 7.3 (page 7-82)
“As a general rule of thumb, enter the upload speed of your connection minus 10-25% in kilobits.”
tordo - you have .7 Mb/sec upload speed which would equal 700 kbps by my calculation. (.7 * 1000 = 700)
The manual recommends you set bandwidth to 75% of your upload kbps (700 * .75 = 525 BW)
My calculation is that you set 525 Bandwidth.
Does anyone know if these calculations are based on my Speedtest to a local server, or if it needs to set it to a server close to the host?
I’ve heard of the possibility of ill effects if clients are using different bandwidth settings when connected on one server. If anyone can confirm or deny that I would appreciate it. I didn’t see any official reference in the manual or in BMS forums.
