PNC laa that one smile.gif ...but I'll give a hint...straight to HK mainland....

OK here is my research.

WoW actually doesn't need a lot of bandwidth, theoritically, you can play WoW using TMNET 1315 modem.

I've installed linux bridge to monitor traffic between my LAN to main switch.

Using realtime traffic monitor

IPTRAF recorded these :

Incoming rates : 1.0kbps/sec | 1.2 packets/sec
Outgoing rates : 2.3 kbps/sec | 1.6 packets/sec
Total rates : 3.4kbps/sec | 2.8packets/sec
Wow Latency : 382ms
Realm: Thaurissan

But if I activated Utorrent and using only 100kbps from 1024kbps ( max bandwidth in my dept ).....WoW will suffers...and the lag will topped 5000kbps......only with uTorrent activated.

The PC running uTorrent is using these ports
TCP/UDP Recently Used Ports
Client Port

    * 1059
    * 1041
    * 1130
    * 1132
    * 1133

Server Port
    * 1421
    * 2360
    * 1041

WoW..I think using port 3xxx ..I have forgotten.

So imagine a 1024kbps bandwidth with no torrent service, I think it can easily serve a lot of WoW players easily.

Well..my hunter just reached lvl 12..and I need to test the bandwidth in raids......

That's for today

For network monitoring purpose
-------------------------------------
OS : Linux Centos 4.4 transparent bridge with 2 NICs bridged uisng bridge-utils
Monitoring : IPTRAF ( realtime ), NTOP ( bandwidth summary ), MasterShaper ( shaping utils )
Firewall : IPTABLES

You are in Thaurissan? I think the realm has a rather low population. You need to go to those with max population and move to major cities or even possible, to outland. A full blown proper regression test on the bandwidth needs to be taken account for highly populated areas for all periods, both peak and non-peak.
