How much bandwidth does netplay use?
I'll have a 5gig per day cap once I get Resnet. That's really high, but I just want to be sure.
Well, let's see.
60 packets are sent per second by each side, they come out to:
26 bytes UDP header
4 bytes Caster header
1 byte identifier byte
6 bytes game information
12 bytes input data
and every 20th packet gets 22 bytes of sync data.
3006 bytes/sec each way, so 6012 bytes total per second.
This is about 21 megabytes per hour.
If someone is spectating on you, this is increased by 25%, or 27MB/hour.
I REALLY don't think you have anything to worry about.
