Compression.

[Princess]

Hello guys, I have a doubt.

wich compression is the best to avoid the "lag"? I don't mind the cpu charge (I have 8 cpus), 24Gb RAM and 1Gbps conexion. The average players is 1800.

I would say your best bet is to try it, and increase the compression level and monitor how your machine reacts.

Can you give me the name of any monitor on Debian? Thx!

[Auntie Mangos]

For process monitoring try

$ top

For monitoring your network usage try out

$ vnstat

.

top is part of the package procps, and vnstat is part of the package vnstat.

This is the monitor with 1500ppl

8 realms is a huge load and you should really not run them as root, but there ist enough free ram. The processor is at full load, which does not suprise me with 8 realms. You simply should login at different compression level and looking for lags. If there are lags, you can try to reduce the compression rate, otherwise, you can set it higher if you want to save bandwith.

mmm, I have only 1 realmd, the mangos' process you see is because mtmap=3 and network=2.
