Hey Motha a question

Hey MF, what type connection do you have? DS3?? T1? if you could tell me it would be of great help

heh, hmm...tough one there, last time I checked it was an OC48

oooooooooo oc48 is a connection?? lol whoops..

LOL Yeah its a slowed down OC192? which as far as I know is the fastest connection you can get and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. The OC 48 prolly runs in the tens of thousands per month.

tens of thpusands a month??!!! just for a game server?! DANNNGGG!!!!! you guys rock!!!!

not to be a bother, but i was doing research of OC48 lines...and they do 2.48 gig transfer!! HOLY CRAP!! oh and uhh..BugarBomb. OC192 is not the fastest ..the fastest is OC255 and it has 19.22 gigs of transfer/second!!! it is hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, with thousands of dollars SETUP fee!! OC48 is also hundreds of thousands a month!!!

MMmmGood, are you a business?..are you on a lan OC48? cuz uhh..hundreds of thousands a month is a !$#@ load of money!!

sry i was so bothersome, but i had to ask

I think the game server is either hosted at a company he works for or it is located at a datacenter. A datacenter is just a building that houses servers and has a phat pipe to connect them to the internet and the oc48 my be the datacenters pipe.

I think an OC 48 is a little more than a few thousand a month

Not sure how dated this price is, but an oc 48 for a month is listed as being $450,000 approx

ya 450,000 i found that too...its UP TO DATE TOO!! damn...i wish Motha would reply i wanna know if he is connected from a business or what ?

The server is actually on a 100Mbs Fast Ethernet connection, that connects back to a core router via Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbs).

The router is then connected via an OC48 to a nationwide backbone, originating out of Equinix Ashburn. So it is connected to other networks via Fast Ethernet, OC3/12/48, or Gigabit Ethernet.

So, it is a FAST backbone, but no, the server is not on a 2.4Gbs direct connection, it is via 100Mbs ethernet to an OC48 backone.

Plus, I like the name OC48Gaming.Com, don't you?

so who pays for all that i dont see any pop ups on the site or something else
do you guys pay it all by yourselfs??:lol:

oo i c...still fast though...100 meg wire(what i mean is like the network wire..mine is 10/100 through a router) or 100 mb download/upload?? yes oc48 gaming is cool


one other question (sorry)

how much is that a month? i am lookin into different connections, and i need a very fast one..100 mb sounds good

thx for the answers

You can't afford it!

I operate out of 2 datacenters at the moment, and opening up a third.

I've got TONS of bandwidth available to me, hence the game servers, I love online gaming (even though my time is less and less lately).

Enjoy it!

MF

do you own the datacenters??????? how do you operate out of one if u dont,?
